OGDEN — Brock Tibbitts hit two home runs, Jake Millan hit his 22nd of the season and the Glacier Range Riders held off Ogden 11-8 in Pioneer League baseball Saturday night.
The game came down to the final out: The Raptors’ Chase Valentine drew a bases-loaded walk with two out to bring up Colson Lawrence, who’d hit his 35th home run in the first inning for Ogden (21-26 second half).
Glacier reliever Alex Bustamante got Lawrence to ground out to first to end it.
A five-run fourth inning got the Range Riders (23-24) going: Andrew Collins, Logan Beard and Carson Garner all hit RBI doubles to put Glacier ahead 5-3, and Millan followed with a two-run home run.
Tibbitts hit solo home runs in the fifth and eighth innings, increasing his team’s lead to 8-6 and 11-6.
