Range Riders Erase Early Deficit, Down PaddleHeads with Late Rally

In Sunday's series finale, the PaddleHeads wasted no time getting a lead, with Josh Elvir and Keaton Greenwalt both hitting two-run homers in the first inning. Greenwalt added a solo shot in the third inning, and Dondrei Hubbard's RBI groundout gave Missoula a 6-0 advantage. The Range Riders woke up in the bottom half of the fourth though, loading the bases before Kingston Liniak delivered a grand slam to cut the deficit to two. In the fifth, Christian Kirtley smacked a solo homer, and Mason Dinesen knotted the game with an RBI single. Missoula went back in front in the sixth on Patrick Chung's RBI double, and the 7-6 score held until the bottom of the eighth inning. The Range Riders found some two-out magic – Dean Miller laced an RBI single, Liniak scored on a wild pitch, and Kirtley doubled home Miller for an insurance run. Montana Quigley tossed a scoreless ninth inning to secure his first save of the season. Glacier still clings to the final postseason spot after the series split.

Grand Junction 12, Northern Colorado 7: Cruce's Big Day Leads Jacks Past Owlz

The Jackalopes finished off their week by taking all three games from the Owlz at Future Legends Field, thanks in large part to outfielder Jacob Cruce.

Northern Colorado answered with a five-run fourth inning, but the Jacks answered with three runs in the top of the fifth, highlighted by Lavoisier Fisher's two-run double. Cruce drove in his fifth run of the day in the sixth inning, and the Jacks padded their lead with three more tallies in the inning and added another insurance run in the eighth. Cruce finished the day going 4-for-5, driving in five runs and scoring five. With their hot week, the Jackalopes are just two games back of the Vibes in the South Division second-half race.
