Senators improve to 3-0 at Keith Sell

HELENA — The Senators hung on for an 8-7 victory in five innings over the Mudville 9 on Friday night to wrap up the second day of the Keith Sell Tournament. 

Tournament rules state that a new inning cannot start after two hours have elapsed. Mudville is left to wonder what might have been if it did not use six mound visits during the first four innings.

Friday's nightcap at Kindrick Legion Field started an hour later than the originally scheduled 8 p.m. start time because of a weather delay earlier in the evening.

After Forest Suero took a breaking ball off his foot with the bases loaded to give Helena a 8-7, things got dicey for the Senators toward the end of the game.

With Peyton Witham on in relief, Mudville's J.C. Worsham chopped a ball that took a tough hop and went off the glove of Chase Nielsen at first base. Casey Lennon-Jones drew a two-out walk to put the tying and go-ahead runs at first and second. But Witham managed to get Aiden Carter to hit into a fielder's choice, 6-4, to end the game.
