Glacier Twins Stun Libby 12‑11 in Marathon Doubleheader

First Game: A Late Inning Rally

The Glacier Twins erased an eight‑run deficit to down the Libby Loggers 12‑11 in the opening contest of Wednesday’s doubleheader. After Libby jumped ahead 1‑0 in the first thanks to a passed‑ball error, the Twins responded with nine consecutive runs, building a 9‑1 cushion by the fourth inning. Derek Juntunen, Mason Muller and Travis Banks each collected singles in the third to spark a five‑run burst, while Trenton DeRosa drove in two with a lone hit in the fourth and Muller added his second RBI of the game. Boe Miles sparked a five‑run fifth for Libby with a two‑run double, slicing the gap to 9‑7, and Ian Thom handed the Loggers the lead 10‑9 in the sixth on a two‑run sacrifice bunt. Glacier regained control in the seventh when two runs rode on a passed ball with two outs, and despite a lone reply from Libby, Muller locked down the final out.

Second Game: Libby’s Hot Start Seals Victory

In the nightcap, Libby seized control early with Miles singling home the opening run in the first to take a 3‑2 edge. Two bases‑loaded walks and an error expanded the advantage to 6‑3, but a Kiernan RK single in the fifth brought Glacier within one at 6‑5. Noah Gillespie’s outfield fly in the bottom of the fifth plated Dalton Cannon for an insurance run, and Mason Crowe blasted a two‑run single in the sixth to push Libby ahead 10‑5. The Loggers built on that momentum, holding on for a 10‑6 win and finishing the series with a split.

Season Context and Standings

Libby finishes the regular season at 12‑16, while Glacier sits at 8‑23. Both clubs will wrap up their schedules this weekend at home, staging a pair of doubleheaders against the Bitterroot Red Sox on Saturday and the Missoula team on Sunday, each slated for a 1 p.m. start. These final games will shape Libby’s seed and determine the opponent they face in the West A district tournament slated for July 23‑26 in Hamilton.

What It Means Going Forward

The dramatic comeback in game one showcases Glacier’s resilience as they prepare for the postseason, whereas Libby’s balanced offense—highlighted by Miles, Thom and Crowe—positions them as contenders in the district bracket. Securing a favorable seed this weekend could mean a quicker path through the tournament and potentially avoiding higher‑ranked opponents early. Fans can expect both teams to bring their full effort as they close out the regular season and head into the knockout phase.
