July 30: DAY 1 2025 State Tournament

MEDICINE HAT, Alberta--The Helena Senators, Missoula Mavs, Billings Royals, and Billings Scarlets  won day 1 games at the 2025 MAALB State Tournament. 

The Day 5 state champion, along with the Billings Royals, will advance to the Northwestern Regional Tournament in Billings. The regional champion will advance to the American Legion Baseball World Series in Shelby, North Carolina (which airs on the ESPN networks).

No. 3 Billings Scarlets 2, No. 6 Kalispell Lakers 1

Tayshawn Johnson and Cody Collis hit back-to-back, two-out singles in the second inning to plate Kyren Ballard and Howie Martin for the Scarlets and those two runs stood up for the victory as starting pitcher Zach McDonald hurled six innings of three-hit, no-walk ball while striking out two.

The Scarlets out-hit the Lakers, 5-4, in the opening game of the tourney.

The Lakers stranded a runner at second base, with no outs, in the seventh inning and also had a runner tagged out rounding third base earlier in the game, after the runner rolled his ankle and couldn't get back to the bag.

Collis and Kalispell's Andre Cephers, who started on the mound for the Lakers and went three innings, were the only players in the game with two hits.

No. 2 Missoula Mavs 2, No. 7 Great Falls Chargers 0
 

In a pitcher's duel featuring Great Falls's Deuce Nichols and Missoula's Schuyler Fairchild, two two-out fielding errors by the Great Falls defense in the bottom of the sixth inning resulted in two unearned runs.

Fairchild allowed just three hits and no walks, while striking out five, over 6 2/3 innings. Nichols allowed three hits and a walk, while striking out seven, over six innings of work.

Each team had just three hits. Missoula catcher and No. 3 hitter Rylan Davis was the only players with multiple hits. Missoula shortstop Kaden Thennis had the game-winning RBI with an infield hit that put the game at 1-0.

No. 1 Helena 7, No. 8 Medicine Hat 2

Helena's returning all-conference first baseman Carter Perlinski opened up a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning by hitting a one-out, 0-2 pitch for a three-run home run over the right field fence, and Helena pitcher  Tyler Beaver used 60 pitches to spread six hits and a walk over 5 1/3 innings to help lead the Senators to the win.

Helena out-hit the host Moose Monarchs only 8-7, and scored five runs in their final two innings of at bats. Perlinski was the only hitter with more than one hit.

Medicine Hat's No. 3 hitter and starting pitcher Kaleb Bozek went 3-for-3 with an RBI in the loss. He lasted 5 1/3 innings on the mound, striking out four while walking one.

July 2, 2025: Helena sweeps Scarlets, overtakes 1st place

HELENA--The Billings Scarlets and Missoula Mavs returned for the 2025 season showing why one of them is a returning American Legion Baseball World Series team and the other is a defending state champion.

The Scarlets rode out to a 6-0 Class AA record to end the month of June; Missoula got out to a 4-2 start to end the month of June.

But both the Helena Senators and Bozeman Bucks have had something to say to the top tier teams. 

Helena swept the Scarlets in their three-game conference series on July 1-2 to improve to 10-3 and take over the No. 1 spot in the Class AA standings.  The Scarlets fell to 6-3 and the No. 4 spot.

All the while, Bozeman started hot and has stayed hot in the No. 2 spot in the standings with a 9-3 record, fresh off sweeping the Lethrbridge Elks to start July. Lethbridge has fallen to 3-5 in Class AA and hold the infamous No. 8 spot.

Only the top seven teams will advance to the state tournament, because it is being hosted by Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, this year (as MAALB state tourney host rotations are still smoothing out after the Canadian teams were unable to cross the border during COVID). The Medicine Hat Moose Monarchs earn the state tournament host bid, and will be competing at state although they are currently at 0-15 in the standings.  

 

Aug. 4: State Tournament Day 5

HELENA--It took two games Sunday to determine the Montana Class AA state champion.

Missoula won the first game, 4-0, to hang the first loss of the tournament on Helena and force the winner-take-all state championship.

Second Game: No. 3 Missoula 6, No. 2 Helena 1

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.

No. 1 Billings Scarlets 8, No. 8 Lethbridge 4

Billings third baseman Nate McDonald went 3-for-4 with a double and two-run home run and pitchers Colter Wilson and Nate Berkram worked out of enough jams as Lethbridge actually out-hit the Scarlets, 7-5.

Three Lethbridge pitchers allowed nine walks and the Scarlets jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the second inning.

No. 3 Missoula 7, No. 6 Medicine Hat 1

Missoula pitcher Eric Reimers allowed just one hit and one walk, while striking out six, and the Mavs erupted for five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to break open a 2-1 game.

Missoula right fielder Brennan Labbe went 3-for-3 with two RBIs to lead the Mavs on offense. Catcher Ryland Davis broke the game open with a bases-loaded, two-run double to the left-center field gap.

Billings pitcher Jaiden Turner used 78 pitches to strike out 10 batters en route to a complete-game, one-hit shutout.

The Royals out-hit the Monarchs, 6-1, and didn't commit an error. Tracy was the only Royal with two hits.
