The Montana Old Geezers and Missoula Moose meet up for a 3 game series played face to face. Game 1 has Miles Mikolas vs. Tanner Houck for the home team. All Geezers early as they score 8 times in the 1st three innings. In the 1st, an error extended the opening inning and Manny Machado's RBI single and Mike Yastrzemski's bases loaded walk led to a 2-0 Geezers lead. In the 2nd, Aaron Judge belted a 2-run HR to make it 4-0 Montana. Then in the 3rd, Francisco Lindor launched a 3-run HR followed by a back to back shot by Paul Goldschmidt. The fans had hardly put their butts in the seats and it was 8-0 Montana. The home team tried valiantly to get back in it. Nolan Schanuel's 3-run HR in the 5th got them on the board. Then in the 6th, RBI singles by David Fry and Brendan Rodgers pulled the Moose to within 8-5. In fact, Missoula got the tying run to the plate but failed to do anymore damage. Willison Contreras's SF in the 8th finished the scoring for the Geezers. The Moose battled but fell short 9-5.

Justin Verlander for the Geezers vs. Johan Oviedo for the Moose. Classic pitchers dual. Oveido took a no-hitter into the 5th but Justin Turner's single ended that hope. With two outs, the Geezers loaded the bases and Lindor came through with a 2-run single. Meanwhile, Verlander was nails. After giving up a single in the 1st, the Moose didnt get another hit until the 9th. Verlander sealed the deal with a 2-hit CG shutout. Oviedo went the distance and struck out 10 to no avail as Lindor's RBI hit held up. Montana takes it 2-0 over Missoula.

Austin Gomber for Montana and Cristian Javier for Missoula toeing the rubber for the two teams. Like game 2, the pitchers dominated early. Through 4 innings, Javier had only given up 1 hit and Gomber none as both threw up zeros. The Geezers changed that in the 5th. Tommy Edman broke up the scoreless tie with a RBI single followed by Lindor who delivered another 2-run single. Up 3-0, the Geezers went for the kill and sweep in the 6th. Machado belted a 2-run HR, Daulton Varsho a RBI single, and Edman added a 2-run HR to give Montana a 8-0 lead. The HR onslaught continued with solo HRs from Judge (7th) and Varsho (8th). Machado finished it out with a 2-run triple in the 9th. Gomber finally gave up a hit in the 5th and carried a shutout into the 9th but Schanuel's RBI double erased that. Gomber was great though with the CG win. Montana sweeps the series with a 12-1 win in the finale. The Geezers clubbed 8 HRs to Missoula's 1 over the three games.
