Osprey Spoil Home Finale for Brewers

September 3, 2014 - Pioneer League (PL)
Helena Brewers News Release


The Missoula Osprey (18-18) spoiled the Helena Brewers' (13-23) final game at Kindrick Field this season with a 3-1 win on Tuesday.

Missoula jumped out to an early lead with two runs in the second. Henry Castillo singled and Maik Ehmcke was pegged by a Zach Hirsch (2-2) fastball to put two men aboard with two outs. Damion Smith then lined a two-RBI double to left-center to score the pair.

Cody Reed got the start for the O's, but went home with no decision. He pitched three innings of shutout baseball and despite leaving with the lead, would not qualify for the win. He struck out two and walked three in his three frames of work.

Helena scored their lone run of the game in the sixth when Dustin DeMuth doubled, bringing in Brandon Diaz who was hit by a pitch earlier in the inning.

Pitching was solid the whole way for Missoula, coming an out away from setting a new season-low for Brewer hits in a game. With two outs in the ninth, Eric Williams singled to left to give Helena four total hits on the game and avoid setting the new record.

The Brewers now head to Billings to cap off the year at Dehler Park. Their two-game series begins Wednesday with a first pitch set for 7:05 p.m.
