Aug. 8—John Mabry's two-down double down the right field line capped a five-run, ninth-inning rally for the Glacier Range Riders Thursday, in a walk-off 9-8 win over the Billings Mustangs at Glacier Bank Park.
The win continued the improved play of the Range Riders, who have won eight of their last 10 games and are 11-10 this half of the Pioneer League.
It didn't look likely went Billings (9-12) scored six runs in the first — sending 11 men to the plate, with Efrain Manzo's three-run double the big blow — and another in the third to lead 7-0.
Mabry hit an RBI single and Eli Paton a two-run home run in the Range Riders' half of the third to start the comeback.
In the ninth, Glacier worked reliever Jack Maruskin for four walks, wrapped around a Gabe Howell RBI single. A walk to Jack Millan cut the gap to 7-5 and left the bases loaded.
Cole Calnon came on to pitch, struck out Kyle Ashworth and gave up a sacrifice fly to TJ Clarkson.
That brought up Mabry, who stroked the game-winner to end the lightning-delayed game.
Rayne Supple (2-6) got the win, pitching a scoreless ninth ahead of the Range Riders' rally. He and fellow relievers Davis Pratt and Jacob Hasty threw four innings of shutout ball, with one hit allowed. Pratt fanned three in his two innings.
The teams continued their series Friday night.
