July 31: State Tournament Day 1
HELENA--There is going to be a lot of familiarity in the winners' bracket games Thursday during day 2 of the Class AA State Tournament.
It'll be a crosstown matchup between the No. 1 Billings Scarlets and the No. 4 Royals at 4 p.m. In the other winners' bracket game, it'll be No. 2 Helena versus No. 3 Missoula for the 13th time this season in Thursday's nightcap.
Helena survived the nightcap against Kalispell, 1-0, with a walk-off wild pitch. Missoula beat Medicine Hat 7-1. The Scarlets beat Lethbridge 8-4. The Royals beat Bozeman, 2-0.
Kalispell will face Medicine Hat at 1 p.m. in loser-out action. Lethbridge and Bozeman will open Thursday's games at 10 a.m.
No. 2 Helena 1, No. 7 Kalispell 0
It came down to a two-out, bases-loaded, walk-off wild pitch after an amazing pitchers' duel.
Connor Devine hit a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh inning, and eventually scored the winning run.
Helena pitcher Will Lyng spread four hits and two walks over seven innings, while striking out four, to earn the complete-game shutout. He used 87 pitches, so is done for the tournament with pitch counts rules.
Kalispell pitcher Jackson Heino spread out five hits and three walks while striking out one. He used 77 pitches over 6 2/3 innings.
Neither team committed an error.
