The Lethbridge Spitz Miners were no match for the beasts from the East and will try to win an Montana American Legion A State baseball title from the B side of the draw.
The Miners fell 18-2 to the Laurel Dodgers, the top seed from the East Conference. Braeden Heyland took the loss, giving up five runs in the second inning. Ren Visser and Austin Sedgwick also took the mound for Lehbridge. The Miners were out-hit 12-5 and added four errors to that.
The team faces a do-or-die game today against the Bitterroot Red Sox at 9 a.m.

It was going to take more than an injured
Achilles to slow Loudia Laarman down.
Heading into the 2010 World Junior Track and Field Championships in Moncton, N.B., ranked just out of the top-20, the 18-year-old Lethbridge sprinter set out to prove she was faster than where she had been seeded.
And when Laarman sprinted over the finish line, she not only made good on her goal, she cracked the top-10 in the process, taking sixth place in the 4 X 100m relay and seventh in the 100m dash.

Bulls win |

Lethbridge Bulls coach Scott Rhodes was happy with his team’s performance Sunday afternoon at Spitz Stadium.
The 9-3 win over the Melville Millionaires wasn’t what they dream about in Kansas cornfields, but it was a very solid win for a team which needs to keep the pedal to the metal from now through the Western Major Baseball League playoffs.
The Bulls struggled for much of July, losing five in a row from the 11-16 and they were barely .500 before that. Now, after watching an early season lead over the Medicine Hat Mavericks disappear, the Bulls are in control in second place in the WMBL West division. Their 25-22 record with one game to play — Tuesday at Spitz Stadium against the Edmonton Prospects — has them a game-and-a-half ahead of Medicine Hat (23-23 with two to play).
The magic number for clinching second is down to one. But what the Mavericks are up to isn’t Rhodes’ concern. He’s happier about some of the situations he’s seen his players respond to over the last stretch of games. The Bulls are 6-1 in their past seven.
“We’re swinging the bats really good right now and yeah, I’d say we’ve built up some momentum,” said Rhodes, who is in his second season with the Bulls. It hasn’t been all sunshine and roses, as the team’s play had been a source of frustration.
“One thing we’ve done lately that we definitely weren’t doing before is we’re not sitting on our hands when the other team scores some runs.
“It seemed like early on, we’d watch them score and just go ‘Oh, well, that’s it.’ But now I’m seeing the guys get fired up about getting those runs back and it shows in the way we respond.”

The Lethbridge Spitz Miners cut it close at the American Legion A baseball district playoffs in Fort Macleod Friday.
A little closer than head coach Chad Layton would have liked, but he was happy with the 10-9 extra-innings win over the Havre Northstars.
“We hit the ball really well early,” said Layton, whose team is into today’s A-side final at 2:30 p.m. at Westwinds Field in Fort Macleod. “I mean, we were hitting it hard and it looked like everything was clicking but their pitcher settled down and started throwing the ball very, very well.
“And it just seemed like every time we’d pull ahead, they’d get something back.”
