The Post 20 Twins battled Juneau in an Alaska Legion doubleheader on Tuesday in Anchorage with Juneau stealing game one and using a 12-run inning to down the Twins in game two.
Twins 6 – Juneau 7 Eight Innings
An extra-inning error by the Post 20 Twins cost Kenai an opportunity for the win as Juneau downed Kenai 7-6 in eight innings in game one of the doubleheader.
The Twins jumped-out to a 6-2 lead after four innings with a pair of runs in the first, third and fourth innings. Juneau answered with three runs in the fifth innings to draw to within a run at 6-5 Kenai. Juneau tied the game in the bottom of the seventh to send the game to extra innings; and, Juneau scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth for a 7-6 Alaska Legion victory. The twins recorded six runs on six hits with Jacob Belger recording 2 hits in three at bats.
Juneau 14 – Twins 4
The Juneau Legion baseball team recorded a 14-4, ten-run rule victory over the Twins in game two of the doubleheader; however, the game’s score only tells part of the story.
Juneau plated 12 runs in the second inning with seven hit and a hit batter for the first eight hitters of the inning. Twins Malakai Olson took the loss allowing nine runs on eight hits in 1 1/3 innings. J. Brinner closed with 3 1/3 innings allowing five runs, with only one earned.
