Helena Senators 8, Missoula Mavericks 2
In the biggest game of Aaron Fuzesy’s baseball career (thus far), the right-hander flirted with the wild side, but pitched Helena into the undefeated semifinal on Monday night at 7.
It’s the fourth-straight time Helena has advanced to the undefeated semifinal game.
“He’s an incredibly talented young man,” Senators head coach Jon Burnett said of Fuzesy. “He’s got lots of fire and lots of aggressiveness…
“We thought, if he could channel that and focus that, he was gonna be a tough draw for whoever saw him this tournament…
“He did a heck of a job.”
The good – seven innings, three hits, two earned runs, four strikeouts – also came with the bad – three wild pitches and four hit batters, but his defense picked him up multiple times and the Senators’ bats woke up in the sixth.
