Rockies defeat Clark Fork Cougars

The Mission Valley Rockies won their second game of the Senior Babe Ruth state tournament down in Missoula, defeating the Clark Fork Cougars 10-9 in extra innings this afternoon. Devin Kamarainen drove in Nick Grogan in the bottom of the ninth and Jame Peterson pitched three hitless relief innings for the Rockies.

That moves the Rockies up in the bracket with a record of 1-1. They'll play the winner of the Missoula Pioneers and Helena All-Stars game at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Babe Ruth Tournament Results

I have to pass these results along because the kids from Mission Valley Babe Ruth really deserve a lot of credit for playing some great baseball last weekend. It was the end-of-the-season tournament and probably the first weekend they haven't had to play in a mud puddle.

The Mission Valley Rockies finished with a perfect 15-0 record but had to fend off a very feisty Polson Pirates team.
