AROUND THE HORN

— Matt Vinson broke a 4-4 tie by scoring on a wild pitch to give the Glacier Pilots a 5-4 win over the AIA Fire at Mulcahy Stadium, giving the Pilots their second straight one-run win over the Fire. Cael Brockmeyer and Brady Hohl both belted two-run homers for the Pilots.

— The Bucs and Oilers split a doubleheader in Kenai, with each of the scheduled seven-inning games needing extra innings. In the first game, Boomer Collins drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning single that scored pinch-runner Jamison Rowe and Jake Valdez added an insurance run by scoring on a groundout to lift the Bucs 4-2. In the second game, Manny Acosta's two-out, opposite-field single in the eighth inning scored Tanner Rust, who beat the throw at the plate to deliver a 1-0 win to the Oilers.

— Kyle Geason ripped a three-run bomb in the first inning to spot Fairbanks to a big first inning lead in a 10-0 victory over the Red Deer Diggers of Alberta. The win came at the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament in Kamloops, B.C.

— Eagle River will host its first Alaska Baseball League game Saturday when the Anchorage Glacier Pilots play the Athletes in Action Fire at Loretta French Field.
