GREAT FALLS — In an Eastern AA baseball showdown Monday afternoon, the Great Falls CMR Rustlers continued their inaugural season on the diamond with a 9-4 win over Billings West at Don Olson Field.
West took an early 1-0 advantage into the bottom of the first, but the Rustler bats got active, recording a four-spot big in thanks to a two-RBI double from Jackson Maphies — who had three hits in the win — and Chase Little recording an RBI single.
The Golden Bears scored two more runs off passed balls to cut the deficit to 5-3, but CMR responded with yet another four consecutive runs. Roehrich Soldano's RBI single in the sixth capped that off as the Rustlers cruised to the win.
