The Helena Brewers came back from a 5-1 deficit in the 2nd to win the game 8-6 and the Pioneer League semifinals in 2 games. They now go on to play in the finals. Their opponent is to be determined; the other second semifinal game was postponed by rain. The finals will start on Saturday.
Starting pitcher Barrett Astin didn't survive through two full innings, being pulled after giving up two runs in the 2nd. The bullpen came in to close it down, giving up only one run for the rest of the game. On the defensive side, the heart of the order took good advantage of bases on balls.
