HELENA — Down three runs in the seventh to Bozeman, it was like a switch flipped. After stringing together just four hits through six innings, the Helena Senators stormed back in the seventh with the help of four singles to tie the game at 3-3.

Hunter Bratcher had the big hit in the inning, a two-RBI, game-tying single off the second baseman’s glove. Walker Bennett, Manu Melo and Trysten Mooney all picked up knocks in the seventh.

Two innings later, the Senators were celebrating a 4-3 walk-off victory over the Bozeman Bucks when a balk was called with runners on the corners.
