LIBBY, Mont. — After a hard-fought weekend of baseball, the 19U North Idaho Lakers fell to the Bitterroot Bucks 9-1 in the Big Bucks Tournament championship held Sunday at Lee Gehring Field.

The Bucs scored two runs in both the third and fourth innings to get out to a 4-0 lead. The Lakers plated their lone run in the top of the fifth after Jacob Hansen was able to score on an error. Bitterroot used a five-run bottom of the sixth to secure the victory.

North Idaho was limited to just two hits — a double from Gavin Day and a single from Hansen. On the mound, Jorden Tyler got the start and went four innings, giving up five hits, four earned runs and five walks while striking out two batters in the loss.

Bitterroot’s Mason Arlington went 3-for-4 at the plate and got the win on the mound, throwing six innings and giving up just two hits, no earned runs and six walks while striking out seven batters.

North Idaho (10-5) will be back in action Wednesday for a doubleheader against a tough Northern Lakes squad.
