The Glacier Twins beat the Bitterroot Bucs in a 6-5 squeaker Sunday to win the Western District A title and advance to the state tourney.
The state tourney starts Thursday in Lewistown.
Twins’ center fielder Cade Morgan, went 2-for-2 and scored three times Sunday.
Morgan, who’d doubled and scored in the fourth, led off the sixth with a single. He went to third on Jacob Polumbus’ hit and came in on Michael Glass’ infield single. Jack Price followed with a grounder that got away from the shortstop, and Polumbus scored the tying run.
Glass came in on a Mason Peters’ two-out single; Veneman followed with a knock to bring in Price.
That was big because the Bucs hit a solo home run off George Robbins with one out in the seventh. Robbins, a side-arming righty who’d come in for Trenton Tyree in the fourth, had done solid work; but after giving up the homer, he hit the next two hitters.
Stevyn Andrachick then came in and fanned the next two Bucs for the save.
The Twins beat the Bucs 5-3 Saturday to advanced to the championship. They’re now 34-19 on the year.
