HELENA — Twenty-four hours prior to the conclusion of the 2022 Keith Sell Tournament Championship Game – in which the Helena Senators beat Butte 9-1 to repeat as champions – the fate of Monday’s contest was in question.

Heavy rains moved through the area Sunday afternoon, dumping heavy amounts of rain on the field and ultimately canceling the remainder of tournament pool play.

During the rain shower, large amounts of water covered portions of the field. Roughly 12 inches of water spilled into the third base dugout and about half that much into the first base dugout.

“Super proud,” Burnett said of his team. “They were here all week putting the tarp on, taking it off. Then to have the focus coming in here and to sharpen up for this game – they played awesome. [Luke] Dowdy was great on the mound. We took good at-bats. Very excited for how they played today.”

Dowdy had a no-hitter working into the fifth and the Senators hung a six-spot on the Butte Miners in the fifth inning.
