In the first game against the Salmon Kings, Post 20 did all its damage with five runs in the fourth inning and that was enough.

Malakai Olson went 5 1-3 innings for the Twins, giving up three runs on three hits while walking six and striking out eight.

Hunter Williams finished up with 1 2-3 scoreless innings, giving up a hit and a walk while striking out two.

Post 20 was opportunistic on offense, getting five hits, five walks and scoring three unearned runs. Matthew Schilling had a double and two RBIs for the Twins, while Trenton Ohnemus, Gabe Smith, Williams and Gabe Joanis added hits. The hits for Smith and Williams were doubles.

In the 9-3 victory over the Salmon Kings, Post 20 led 2-0 after one, but Ketchikan cut it to 2-1 after two. The Twins scored four runs in the fourth, but Ketchikan cut it to 6-3 in the top of the sixth. Post 20 got insurance by scoring three in the bottom of the sixth.

Ohnemus got the win, going six innings and giving up three runs — two earned — on three hits. Ohnemus walked four and struck out 11.

Schilling came on for the seventh, pitching a scoreless and hitless inning while whiffing one.

The Twins cranked out 14 hits in the game. Williams led by going 3 for 4 with three runs, two doubles and two RBIs.
