The Glacier Range Riders are off to a blazing 6-1 start! 

After a thrilling 9-8 home opener victory over the Great Falls Voyagers at Glacier Bank Park, Daily Inter Lake reporter Luke Schmit caught up with two of the night's standout performers. 

Luke talks to second baseman Logan Beard, who breaks down his clutch 3-run home run, his pick-off connection with catcher Donnie Hatfield, and what's fueling the team's hot start - then catches up with outfielder Kyle Ashworth on his RBI triple, why this year's clubhouse culture feels different from last season, and the championship mindset he's brought back to Kalispell. 

Both players also sound off on the electric Glacier Bank Park crowd, and why the Flathead Valley has the best fans in the league.

The Range Riders are locked in, unified, and playing for this city. If this home opener is any indication, Flathead Valley baseball fans are in for one serious season!
