The Glacier Twins A squad snapped a seven-game losing streak, downing the Bitterroot Bucs in a doubleheader Sunday in Whitefish 4-1, 2-1.

The Twins lost to the Butte Miners in Legion baseball the day before at home in a squeaker, 5-4.

Glacier is now 11-8 overall.

In the opener against the Bucs, the Twins were down 1-0 in the top of the third, but answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning and that proved to be the difference.

Vinny Smith went 2 for 3 and had an RBI for the Twins. Jayce Fagerland also drove in a run.

A.J. Wetsch got the win on the mound. In the nightcap, Jonny Sapa struck out seven, but gave up nine hits — all singles — in 5 2/3 innings.

The Twins scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the fourth. Jesse Walburn and Kyler Howke each had an RBI for the Twins.

They next play the Kalispell Lakers A squad at home Thursday at 7 p.m.
