MISSOULA, MONT. - The Great Falls Voyagers (11-9) used a six-run sixth inning to down the Missoula Osprey (10-10) 13-9 in front of 1,559 fans at Ogren Park Allegiance Field. The Osprey took an early four run lead in the first inning capped off by Trevor Mitsui's team-leading fourth homer of the season. Missoula would jump out to a 6-2 lead after three innings before a devastating rally by the visitors in the sixth inning.

The Voyagers sent ten batters to the plate and chased out Missoula starter Tyler Bolton (2-1) and reliever Kevin Simmons with four hits and only left one runner on base.

Holden Helmink and Lawrence Pardo each pitched in scoreless relief outings for the Osprey in the final 2.1 innings on the mound.

Missoula saw production from Fernery Ozuna ho opened his efforts at the plate with doubles in the first and second innings. Kevin Cron had another multi-hit game with a 2-4 effort and Dane McFarland went 2-3 with a pair of swipes before leaving the game in the sixth inning with an injury.

Tomorrow the Osprey will send lefty hurler Gabriel Moya to the mound with a 2-0 record and a 5.82 ERA. He will duel against Great Falls starter Zach Thompson who is 0-1 and carries a 4.15 ERA.

With the loss, Missoula moves out of a tie of first-place in the Pioneer League and a game behind Great Falls.

The O's end their six-game homestand with tomorrow's start time with Great Falls set for 5:05 p.m. Tickets for all Osprey games are available at the MSO Hub Box Office, by phone at (406) 543-3300 and online at MissoulaOsprey.com.
