Dalton Mohlzon blanked the Twins and struck out two in the top of the fifth to shut the door and end the game. It ended early because of the tournament's 8-run rule.
The M's struck first, as Cole McArthur scored from third on a wild pitch in the second inning. Then two innings later, the fireworks started earlier for the Fourth. First, Jack Humphreys made contact with the ball with two base-runners on and a throwing error allowed them to score. Two batters later, Justin Evertz tripled to drive hom two more runs and force Glacier to switch pitchers.
Another passed ball allowed Evertz to score, then after a Robbie Gauthier double, Jake Young hit a sac fly to drive in another run. Another wild pitch would allow Gauthier to score and then later in the inning, Humphreys had another RBI with a single to bring home McArthur.
In all, it was an eight-run rally off four hits and one error.
Glacier couldn't answer back and the eight-run rule ended things early.
Evertz and Humphreys both finished the game 2-3 with two RBIs.
