GREAT FALLS — For the first time, high school baseball games took place Saturday at Don Olson Field, as the new CMR program welcomed Missoula Sentinel for a doubleheader.
Game 1 saw the Rustlers get out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning, led by a three-run home run by Gage Allen. This trend continued the rest of the way, as the Rustlers would end up winning by mercy rule in the 5th 10-0, as Roehrich Soldano sealed the deal with a solo long ball.
Starting pitcher Kayden Neil recorded eight strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings of work.
Sentinel bounced back in game 2, with the Spartans topping the Rustlers 4-2 after escaping a two-out, bases loaded jam.
