"Big-hit Bob" Robbie Gauthier went 3-for-4 with a home run, double and three RBIs, while Clary went 2-for-3 with a home run, double and three RBIs also.
Mission Valley worked up a 6-0 lead three three innnings before Kalispell scored their first run in the top of the fourth. The M's answered back thanks to a sac fly RBI by Austin Von Tom and a double by Clary that scored Justin Evertz. That made it 8-1.
Von Tom pitched six innings, struck out two and spread out six hits.
A home two-run homer by the Lakers in the top of the fifth pulled them to within 8-3 but "Big-hit Bob" found a way to come through again. In the bottom of the sixth, Jack Humphreys scored on an error and then a few batters later with the bases loaded, Gauthier hit a double that scored both Von Tom and Evertz to enact the eight-run rule.
The Mariners went 4-0 in schedule play and will be in the first-place game at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow.
