Twins take 3rd at Bill Miller Big Fish Wood Bat Tournament

The Post 20 Twins defeated Eagle River 14-2 Thursday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai to take third place in the Bill Miller Big Fish Wood Bat Tournament.

The Twins used four pitchers to limit Eagle River to just two hits.

Jeremy Kupferschmid gave up a run in an inning, Seth Adkins pitched a scoreless inning, Chris Jaime pitched two scoreless innings and Jacob Boze gave up a run in an inning.

On offense, the Twins belted out 15 hits.

Tanner Ussing was 2 for 3 with a run and an RBI, Jacob Boze was 2 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs, Davey Belger was 2 for 4 with two runs, and Logan Smith had a hit and two RBIs.

Kupferschmid, Andrew Carver, David Michael, Mose Hayes and Adkins added hits. Michael had four RBIs, while Adkins had two RBIs.

In championship, Auburn, Rhode Island, defeated Napoleon, Ohio, in a bizarre game.

The game was scheduled for seven innings, but went extra time and Ohio grabbed a 9-6 lead after the top of the 10th.

With two outs in the bottom of the 10th, Rhode Island hit a three-run homer to tie it. As the Rhode Island batter was scoring, a brawl ensued. Tournament director Lance Coz ruled the game should be over and Rhode Island would win, because the tiebreaker goes to the team that last scored.

Coz then made sure the teams separated and got out of town.
