Mission Valley used an eight-run top of the sixth inning to upset the No. 1 seed for the North District in the first round of the Class A Legion State Tournament.
Robbie Gauthier went 2-for-3 for the Mariners, driving in three runs and hitting a double. Derrick Rathe was 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a double as well.
It was a back and fourth affair between both teams, with the game being tied 6-6 before Mission Valley found the magic stroke. The Mariners collected five hits, Great Falls committed two errors and it broke the game wide open with a 14-6 M's lead.
Josh Rustad pitched a four-hitter for the Mariners, although errors by the defense did cause a little anxiety by their home crowd, the veteran pitcher was cool under pressure and struck out seven.
Great Falls' Dalton Cook, Justin Pfennigs and Sam Wingerter drove in runs for the Electrics.
The Mariners had 14 hits as a team and five different players had a multi-hit game.
