In what should have been an out for the Blue Devils, Adrian Valenciano found a higher gear and beat a throw to first.

Deer Lodge pitcher Taylor Stone, center, throws to first baseman Kaehl Lowery during a pickoff attempt, forcing Lewistown's Cody Henderson to dive back to the bag during Friday's game.
Taylor Stone and Dakota Crowe. Tyler Lee and Luke Westbrook. WP – Lee. LP – Stone. 2B – Derek Walker, Andrew Lallum, Cordell Gallagher. RBI – Chase Steyh 3, Gallagher 2, Lallum, Tre Bradley.
THREE FORKS – Deer Lodge got strong pitching performances from Kenny Stryker and Taylor Stone but was only able to come away with a split in the first day of the 16th Annual Imerys Memorial Tournament, Friday at Imerys Field.
The Wardens began the day with a 7-3 win over a team from Summit, Colorado but ended the day on the short end of a frustrating 5-4 loss to Lewistown.
“I don’t think we played bad baseball,” Deer Lodge coach Jake Starr said. “They (Lewistown) were a good team. They’re well-coached and they put the ball in play.”
The Wranglers had an idea of what they were up against in their second game of the day. After beating Summit in the first game – on a one-hitter by Stryker – Lewistown stepped onto the field and beat the same Summit squad, 13-0, in a game shortened by the tournament’s 8-run mercy rule.
Nonetheless, the Wranglers put the Redbirds back on their heels with two runs in the second inning.
Kaehl Lowery started the inning with a walk, and scrambled to third base when Lewistown’s catcher threw the ball into right field on a pickoff attempt. Sheldon Danforth walked and got himself into scoring position with a steal of second base.
Danforth and Lowery scored one out later when Chase Steyh drilled a sharp grounder down the first base line for a single.
The Redbirds got one run back (unearned) in their half of the second inning, and tied the score in the third when Andrew Lallum’s double to left field scored Hunter Schell from first base. Schell had reached base on a two-out walk.
“The other team was hitting the ball great,” Stone said. “They were hitting my mistakes.”
That also proves how selective the Redbirds were at the plate, since Stone pitched a great game and didn’t make many mistakes.
The Wranglers turned to aggressive base running to regain the lead with Danforth and Logan Danforth doing the damage. Sheldon Danforth walked and stole second base, and Logan Danforth singled him to third two outs later.
Logan Danforth stole second base and a throwing error by the catcher allowed Sheldon Danforth to score from third, giving the Wranglers a 3-2 lead.
Cordell Gallagher gave the Redbirds their first lead of the game with a two-run double in the fourth inning. The inning could have been much worse for Deer Lodge but Stone walked a tightrope and relied on his defense to get out of the jam.
The Redbirds tried pasting another run on the scoreboard but a failed suicide squeeze play resulted in the first out of the inning when catcher Dakota Crowe threw out Luke Westbrook, who was trying to scamper back to third base.
Tre Bradley was forced out at third for the inning’s second out, and Stone got Schell to fly to center for the final out.
The Wranglers tied the score at 4 in the sixth inning when Lowery, who reached base on an error, scored on a grounder by Steyh.
However, the Redbirds took the lead for good in the bottom of the inning when Bradley’s single to center scored Gallagher from second base.
“We started out the day a little sloppy defensively but we cleaned it up,” Starr said. “I thought we played well overall.”
While a championship in the three-day tournament is tops on every team’s list, Starr brought the Wranglers into this tournament with an eye on getting better in one specific area.
“We’ve been playing pretty good baseball,” Starr said. “I wanted to see us toughen it up defensively.
“Right now we’re missing a couple of players so we’re trying to fill spots defensively and we’re trying to get the kids to start seeing some at-bats from the field.”

DILLON – Jamey Richardson had allowed five runs in less than two innings and was a few pitches away from being carried out on his shield in the opening game of the Maybelle Arthur Tournament in Dillon.
Then he found the lower part of the strike zone.
The Dillon pitcher cruised through the final five innings and earned the win as the Cubs bounced back to beat the Butte Muckers, 11-5, on Thursday morning.
Richardson shut out the Muckers through the final five innings and allowed just one hit – a Trey Berger single in the fourth inning.
“I couldn’t find the strike zone,” Richardson said of his two nightmarish innings in which he gave up five runs, three hits, five walks and hit a batter. “I started to settle in a little bit after that. I stated working down in the zone. I had everything up in the first inning. When you get behind hitters you have to throw the fastball.”
The Muckers could not have asked for a better start to the game, as Will Hoagland and Berger walked to lead off the first inning. Alex Kober followed with a one-out double to give the Muckers a 2-0 lead.
The Muckers added to their lead in the second inning by taking advantage of what Richardson was giving them. Ryan Schultz scored on a wild pitch, Cameron Johnson scored on a groundout, and Hoagland scored the fifth Butte run on a bases-loaded walk to Austin Gerry.
The momentum started to shift when the Cubs came to bat in the bottom of the second. Gabe Hupp reached on a fielder’s choice, advanced to second on an error and scored on a hit by Nick Huber.
Richardson crossed the plate for the Cubs’ in the third inning, scoring on R.J. Fitzgerald’s one out double that cut the Muckers’ lead to 5-2.
Dillon used a couple of Butte errors and a walk to build a five-run fourth inning. Richardson delivered a two-run double and later scored on a throwing error to tie the score at 5. A steal of home by Fitzgerald gave the Cubs the lead for good.
The Cubs have spent the better part of the season establishing themselves as the kind of team that forces opponents into making mistakes.
Butte coach Tim Martz grew frustrated as the game wore on, as he watched Dillon continue to take advantage with runners at first and third. The Cubs tend to have their second runner try to steal second base in the hopes that the runner at third can score on the play. That was how Fitzgerald was able to score in the fourth inning.
“We have worked on that so many times,” Martz said. “One time we spent an entire practice working on that. It’s frustrating.”
Kober led the Muckers with two RBIs, and Richardson did likewise for the Cubs.
Fitzgerald led the offense with two doubles and was one of four Dillon players to have two hits.
“The guys are pretty resilient,” Dillon coach Greg Fitzgerald said of his team. “They don’t get too down on themselves. They pick each other up. Right now we’re hitting by committee. Some guys do good one day and somebody else picks it up the next day.”
The Cubs completed a successful day with a 7-0 win over the Helena Cyclones. Kohltin Starkel scattered four hits in the complete-game shutout.
Just like in their game over the Muckers, the Cubs took advantage of a couple of mistakes to get ahead. They scored two runs in the second inning, with one coming on an error and the other on a wild pitch.
Though it was all the Cubs needed, Richardson, Logan Wilson and Nate Simkins provided RBIs. Fitzgerald had two hits in the nightcap.
Martz is hoping to see his team rebound as the tournament continues today. One thing that doesn’t bode well for the Muckers is that they’re scheduled to play at 10 a.m. against the Helena.
“Every time we’ve had a morning game, we haven’t done very well,” Martz said.
The Muckers are also scheduled to play a 3 p.m.
The Cubs are slated to return to action with a 5:30 game against the Electric City Outlaws.
Dillon's Nate Simkins, left, finds himself in a rundown during the first inning of Friday's game against Electric City. Simkins was eventually awarded home because of interference on the play and the Cubs won, 4-0.

DILLON – Dillon Cubs coach Greg Fitzgerald wanted to give his top three starting pitchers a rest during this weekend’s Maybelle Arthur Memorial Tournament, which his team is hosting.
The plan could not have worked out better.
Corey Renfree was the latest Cubs pitcher to take the mound, and merely tossed a three-hit shutout in Dillon’s 4-0 winner over the Electric City Outlaws on Friday. It was his first start of the season.
“I didn’t know if I was going to play or not,” Renfree said of this season. “I’ve been pretty busy with work and I have a lot of things going on.”
One of those things is a movie, which is being filmed in Dillon and which he’s a part of.
Renfree finally listened to the pleas from his teammates to come back and has been doing his best to get back into game shape.
He got into a bit of trouble in his first inning after Outlaws leadoff hitter Bryce Krattiger reached on an infield hit, stole second and took third on a grounder.
He also walked Joe Maney but Maney was cut down by catcher Mark Waldrup while attempting to steal second. Renfree closed out the inning unscathed by striking out future Dillon resident Jordan Wanner. Wanner will be joining the Montana Western football program in the fall.
Renfre got all of the run support he needed in the first inning, which is a good thing because that’s the only inning in which the Cubs scored.
Nate Simkins scored the first run of the game after being caught in a rundown between third base and home. Maney, the Outlaws’ catcher got in Simkins’ way and the umpire called interference and allowed Simkins to advance home.
The Cubs also scored two runs in that inning thanks to a pair of Electric City errors. The only run that wasn’t aided was scored by Jamey Richardson. He walked and eventually scored on R.J. Fitzgerald’s hit.
Outlaw pitcher Chris Wetzel tossed a gem of a game after that sloppy first inning. He held the Cubs to two hits the rest of the way and recorded a three-hitter of his own.
“I think we could have done a better job hitting,” Greg Fitzgerald said. “We didn’t hit in key spots. Their pitcher did a great job.”
The Cubs could also have been crisper while running the bases. Wetzel had retired nine batters in a row when Fitzgerald reached on a throwing error. He committed himself toward second base on the play, rather than staying put, and was thrown out.
Nick Huber singled and stole second in the sixth inning but when the throw on the steal attempt bounced into centerfield, Huber got up and sprinted to third base. He was thrown out.
Fortunately, the Cubs had Renfree to keep the lead. Likewise, Renfree gave credit to his teammates for their strong defensive effort.
Catcher Mark Waldrup made a couple of stellar plays on pop flies behind the plate, and Huber closed out the game with a leaping snow cone catch of a line drive which he turned into a double play.
Renfree threw 92 pitches in the win, with two strikeouts.
“One strikeout would have been more than I was expecting,” he said. “I set the bar pretty low for myself.
“I’m glad that this wasn’t a conference game because I was pretty nervous from the start. If this had been a conference game, I would have been even more nervous and who knows what would have happened.”
The Cubs’ pitchers, thanks to Richardson holding the Butte Muckers scoreless for the final five innings in an 11-5 win on Friday morning and Kohltin Starkel’s four-hit shut over the Helena Cyclones later that day, have now combined to throw 19 consecutive shutout innings in the tournament. It’s a streak that the team hopes will continue in today’s championship game against the Missoula Pioneers.
The Muckers overcame a tough Day 1 loss to Dillon and returned to the win column with victories over Missoula and Helena on Friday.
Butte beat Missoula, 7-4, and closed out its day with a 14-6 triumph over Helena.
Cameron Johnson pitched a strong game in the win over Missoula.
The Muckers took charge of their second game by scoring seven runs in the second inning.
Liam Sommers helped his own cause by driving in two runs in that inning.
Muckers coach Tim Martz was both happy and relieved to see his team bounce back the way it did.
“They finally started to put together some good, solid hits,” he said. “They did much better.
“Ax (Braxton) Henningsen helped in Game 1 with a couple of clutch hits.”
The Muckers had been going through a rough stretch and Martz said that teams start expecting to lose in those situations.
He was relieved to see the Muckers break through and start rebuilding some much-needed confidence.
The Muckers will close out their tournament action by playing Gallatin Valley at 3 p.m., in what is essentially the third-place game.
Butte Muckers beat Missoula 7-4 in seven innings on Friday behind Braxton Henningsen, who went 3-3 at the plate.

DILLON – The Butte Muckers returned to the Mining City after playing their final game of the Maybelle Arthur Tournament, Saturday evening, only to hit the practice field.
It was the only solution that coach Tom Martz could think of after watching his team sleepwalk through a 7-2 loss to the Gallatin Valley Posse.
The team was listless on defense and the offense seemed to be in even worse shape. Pitching was another story.
The Posse had just two hits in the game but took advantage of two hit batters, 11 walks and five errors to win the game. Gallatin Valley took a 4-0 lead into the seventh inning and was still in search of its first hit.
“I don’t know who this team was,” Martz said moments after the game. “We’re going back to Butte right now to practice and a lot of it is going to include running. This team needs an attitude adjustment.”
Martz said he wasn’t completely surprised by the way his team played, only because the pregame signs were obvious.
“I could see before the game that they were pretty flat,” Martz said. “They just didn’t seem motivated. I had to tell them to get into the batting cage to warm up.
“During the game you could see some players not even getting set when the pitch was being thrown. They were just standing there flat-footed.”
The Muckers looked close to their best one day earlier when they beat teams from Missoula and Helena in the tournament. Missoula ended up playing in the championship game, where id dropped a 7-2 decision to host Dillon.
Justin Summers was the Muckers’ starting pitcher and looked good for the first three innings. Then the wheels came off, not just for Summers but for the entire team.
Summers fanned six Gallatin Valley players through the first three innings but began the fourth inning by walking Michael Jones. A couple of errors and another walk loaded the bases.
Summers nearly got out of the inning unscathed when he snared a line drive off the bat of Riley Vaserella and turned it into a double play.
Six more batters came to the plate – five on walks – and the Posse scored four runs before the inning mercifully ended.
Gallatin Valley added three more runs in seventh inning, using their only two hits of the game to get those runs across.
The Muckers were held to five hits in the game, with two coming in a scoreless sixth inning. Braxton Henningsen got the only RBI for Butte by driving in Will Hoagland from third base in the third inning.
Liam Sommers scored the Muckers’ other run on an error in the fifth inning.
“It’s not going to get better for us,” Martz said while looking ahead. “We’ve got five more games this week.”

Andrew Purpura, Jhett Johnson (7) and Christian Drab, Jake Buck (7). Nick Huber, Kohltin Starkel (8) and R.J. Fitzgerald. WP – Huber. LP – Purpura. 2B – Payton Price, Fitzgerald. HR – Logan Wilson. RBI – Jake Buck 2, Fitzgerald 3, Wilson 3, Huber 2, Marc Waldrup.
DILLON – No one has doubted the Dillon Cubs’ ability to hit the ball. They just needed to start hitting at the key moments.
The Cubs showed improvement in that area, Wednesday evening at Vigilante Park, which resulted in a 9-2 win over the Bozeman Spikes.
R.J. Fitzgerald and Logan Wilson drove in three runs each, helping make a winner out of pitcher Nick Huber.
“We hit the ball in spots (Wednesday),” Dillon coach Greg Fitzgerald said. “We needed to hit the ball with guys on base. We left a lot of runners on base but we plated some run.”
Bozeman’s Andrew Purpura and Huber dominated the first couple of innings. Huber struck two batters in the top of the second inning of a scoreless game but Purpura did him one better by striking out the side when the Cubs batted in their half of the same inning.
Purpura blinked first. The Cubs jumped on him for five runs in the third inning, sending 10 batters to the plate in the process. They also proved to their coach and themselves that they do know how to hit in those key situations.
Marc Waldrup led off the third with an infield hit and the Cubs loaded the bases when Nate Simkins walked and Jamey Richardson was hit by a pitch.
Fitzgerald broke the scoreless tie with a crisp single to right field, scoring Waldrup and and Simkins. Wilson followed with an RBI-single of his own, plating Richardson from second base for a 3-0 lead.

“Anytime you have runners on base with two outs, you have to get them in,” coach Fitzgerald added.
Huber was just as effective on the mound, holding the Spikes to just one run in seven innings of work. His only blemish came in the sixth inning when Payton Price led off with a double nd eventually scored on a two-out hit by Jake Buck.
“Nate did a good job,” Greg Fitzgerald said. “He was pretty effective. He’s been getting better throughout the season.”
Fitzgerald credited Huber’s ability to change speeds with his pitches, thus keeping opposing hitters off-balance.
Jhett Johnson took over for Purpura in the seventh inning and was greeted rudely by the Cubs’ offense. Richardson led off the inning with a sharp grounder that was misplayed at first base. He ended up at second on the error. Fitzgerald followed with a run-scoring double, and eventually walked on a bases-loaded walk to Marc Waldrup.
The Cubs put the exclamation point on the win in the eighth inning when Wilson blasted a two-run home run to left-center field.
Starkel pitched the final two innings for the Cubs.
“Bozeman is tough,” Greg Fitzgerald said. “They are a much better team than they were the last two or three year. This was a conference game so it was important.”
The Cubs will now gear up for a tough Helena team, which they will host this weekend. Every game counts at this point of the season and Dillon will be doing its best to take advantage of its home-field advantage.
Talon Burchard brought home the winning run to give Helena Reps the lead in the sixth inning, as Helena Reps hung on to beat Gallatin Valley Outlaws 8-5 on Friday.

DEER LODGE – It’s essentially become a fact that the more games a baseball team plays in a tournament, the less pitching they have.
That was certainly the fact for the Butte Muckers and the Missoula Pioneers at the Mike Walsh Wood Bat Tournament in Deer Lodge.
Three Mucker pitchers combined to walk 10 batters and hit two as Butte dropped a 9-3 decision to the Pioneers, and ended their run in the tournament.
The Pioneers had just enough pitching to get past the Muckers but that win turned out to be their last gasp. Pitching failed Missoula in its game against Deer Lodge, as the Pioneers dropped a 13-5 decision in a game that was called after 3 ½ innings because of the 2-hour time limit.
Deer Lodge will play Helena at noon today, with a shot to play in the championship game later this afternoon.
“To be honest with you, I’m glad we don’t have to play (Sunday) because we don’t have any more pitching,” Muckers coach Tim Martz said. “Tournaments like these take a lot out of you.”
The Pioneers’ pitching looked shaky in the early part of their game against the Muckers but Carter Baughman settled down to pitch a strong game.
It was Baughman’s wild pitch that gave the Muckers a 1-0 lead in the second inning by allowing Alex Kober to score from third. Noah Reynolds, who reached on a walk, scored the Muckers’ second run on a one-out single by Logan LaFromboise.
The Pioneers got one run back in the bottom of the second when Levi Janacaro led off with a single and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Baughman.
Missoula took the lead an inning later with the help of two errors, three walks, one hit batter and a grand slam by Baughman.
That was enough for Pioneers. They added a couple more runs in the fourth inning and cruised to the win.
The weekend wasn’t a total disaster for the Muckers. It wasn’t even close to that. Butte went 2-2 in its four games and Martz discovered two new pitchers that he didn’t even know he had.
Bryson Henningsen and Ryan Schultz made their pitching debuts during the tournament, and looked good in the process.
Henningsen was used in a game on Friday, and Schultz pitched the final 1 2/3 innings in Saturday’s game against Missoula. He walked one and struck out one in the process.
“I didn’t know they could pitch like that,” Martz admitted. “We’re definitely going to use them later in the season.”
The Pioneers didn’t have anyone to turn to after Baughman. They were hoping to get a few good innings out of Britt Richter but that didn’t turn out as planned.
Richter lasted just 1 2/3 innings against the Wranglers, retiring just seven of the 16 batters he faced. In addition to the five walks he allowed, he gave up for singles and a triple.
Richter’s replacement, Drue Barkley, walked three more batters in the second inning before getting the final out.
“We were waiting for good pitches to hit,” Deer Lodge coach Jeff Crowe said. “Some of us were just a little impatient at times and were swinging at stuff that was out of the zone.”
It didn’t seem to matter too much. The Wranglers broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom with seven runs in the bottom of the second inning.
Evan Starr started things when he reached first base by swinging at a wild pitch. Logan Danforth walked, and Kaehl Lowery walked to load the bases. Taylor Stone drove in one run by walking with the bases loaded. Danforth added another run by scoring on a wild pitch. Sheldon Danforth got the big hit of the inning with a drive to deep left field that went for a two-run triple. He scored on a wild pitch as well, giving the Wranglers a 5-1 advantage.
The Wranglers loaded the bases again and scored their final two runs of the inning on walks by Starr and Logan Danforth.
Dakota Crowe went the distance from the mound for the Wranglers, though five runs by the Deer Lodge defense made his day tougher than it should have been.
“Our defense was really sloppy,” Jeff Crowe added. “They just seemed to be a little flat.”
The Wranglers improved to 3-0 in the tournament despite the continued absence of Kenny Stryker. Stryker injured his groin a couple of weeks ago and is still waiting to be cleared to return to action.
Taylor Stone still has an ailing shoulder. He is able to play but is not at 100 percent. The Wranglers have turned to players like Starr and Todd Goss to pick up some of the slack. While they are junior members of the squad, they have held their own quite nicely.
“They do a terrific job,” Jeff Crowe said. “They’re only 12 or 13 years old but they are getting experience.”
Anaconda closed out its Wood Bat Tournament experience with a 7-4 loss to Gallatin Valley earlier on Saturday.
Gallatin Valley took a 6-0 lead after four innings before having to hold off a comeback-minded A’s squad. Cody Canfield and Guy St. John had two hits apiece for the A’s, with Canfield also scoring a run and notching and RBI.
