Glacier baseball races past Libby

LIBBY — Glacier battled back after giving up five runs early against Libby to take a 19-5 victory over the Loggers Tuesday in high school baseball.

Neil Pepe went 2-for-4 for Glacier, driving in four runs and crossing the plate once himself.

Riley Stoltz started things off for Libby (1-1) with a two-run single in the second inning to tie the game at two. Then Elijah Foulke drove in three with a bases-loaded double to left field, giving the Loggers a 5-2 advantage.

Glacier’s offense took control from there as a Kyler Croft RBI double sparked a 10-run third inning. The Wolfpack took the lead as Kai Van Kempin scored on an error later in the inning. Pepe capped off the inning with a two-run double — his second hit of the frame.

The Wolfpack took advantage of six walks in the fourth to extend their lead out to 18-5.
