Helena, now 6-1 against the Mavericks this season, scored nine unanswered runs in the middle innings.

Trysten Mooney tied the game in the third with an RBI knock. The Senators plated four runs in that third inning as Hunter Bratcher and Hunter Wallis joined Mooney with an RBI in the frame.

Tyler Tenney, Helena’s All-Conference shortstop from last year’s state championship-winning team, made his return to the lineup on Wednesday following his freshman campaign with Miles Community College.

Penciled into the two-hole, Tenney reached base three times, including on an RBI single in the fourth. Bratcher singled and Mike Hurlbert doubled behind him, stretching Helena’s advantage to 7-1.
