Final: Great Falls 11, Helena 7 No Helena summary or newspaper report, here's the Voyagers summary. Helena Box Score H-Crew falls to 20-36, and were down 4-0 after a half-inning here. CF Tristen Lutz had two hits, one a double; 19-year-old cleanup man Gabriel Garcia, playing first base, was on base four times, season OBP .405. Next year's Timber Rattlers offense should be fun to watch. About those arms. Pioneer League's tough, but less so if you throw strikes. 2015 9th round pick RHP Karsen Lindell has walked 31 in 35 innings this summer, not ideal for sure. Helena Game Log

Final: Colorado Springs 12, Oklahoma City 2 Guerra Shines In Matinee Win De Jesus and Garcia tally three RBIs each to win third straight By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Junior Guerra threw 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits in Sunday's win over Oklahoma City. (Paat Kelly photo) *** Colorado Springs Box Score 744 - 591! The 74-51 Sky Sox have a plus-153 run differential. Awesome offensive and defensive debut for newly-signed OF Quintin Berry, as you read in the summary. Colorado Springs rocks 19 hits, including nine for extra bases, 23 baserunners in all. And Brett Phillips had the day off. Colorado Springs Game Log Junior Guerra only walked one in his scoreless 5.2 innings, but still went deep on plenty of counts, 90 pitches (53 strikes).

Final: Great Falls 8, Helena 7 Walk-off loss (on a walk, yuck) The Brewers may release a game summary later this AM, but for now, we lean on the Voyagers' report. Helena Box Score Stealing Toby's note: Catcher KJ Harrison allowed 1st 12 baserunners to steal on him, but upon getting re-acclimated, has caught 5 of last 8. Second straight game where Helena loses a game in which Great Falls commits five errors. Gabriel Garcia with a monster game, as noted earlier in the thread; Tristen Lutz, Harrison, and Chad McClanahan with big games as well. Helena Game Log H-Crew falls to 5-12 in the second half, four games out of first place.
