Another player making a difference was Ryne Gillette, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Great Falls). They were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over Bozeman on Saturday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Bison.

Rowan Garten was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Garten was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one run.

Glacier's speedy runners might be the difference in Saturday's contest. The Wolfpack have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5 stolen bases per game.
