Magic Number to clinch: 2
This could be the best-pitched game of the homestand. Brian Peacock held the Osprey hitless for 10 1/3 consecutive innings (dating back to 2010), and Taylor Siemens hasn’t allowed an earned run as a starter during the month of July. More on that with the Game Notes entry, coming soon.

First, to today’s lineups – including the return of one of the members of the June 23 MASH unit.

Game time temperature will depend on the cloud cover. Outside of a typical Missoula shower – which last about a minute and include large drops of rain – things are great here at the moment, and we will be a go for tonight.
