That changed Thursday and, behind Matthew Hess and Ogden’s best pitching of the 2024 season, the Raptors won a second consecutive game with an 11-1 victory against the Glacier Range Riders in Kalispell, Montana.

Gil hit 3 for 4 with a home run, a double and five RBIs. Barns was 3 for 5 with a home run, a double and four RBIs.

And Hess, the right-handed starter, tossed six innings of one-run ball, allowing six hits while striking out six and walking one.

Chad Castillo doubled home Christian Kirtley to put Glacier (10-5) up 1-0 after one inning. It was all Ogden (4-11) after that.

Hess keyed what became a stellar pitching night. Shane Gustafson allowed one hit, struck out two and walked zero in two relief innings before Mark Schommer pitched a quick, scoreless ninth. Raptors pitchers combined for nine strikeouts and only two walks. Hess didn’t issue a walk until the sixth inning.

Of seven total Glacier hits, Castillo’s double was one of just two with a runner on base. Ogden held the Range Riders to 2 of 15 with runners on.

The Raptors, meanwhile, batted 8 of 20 (.400) with runners on and 5 of 16 (.313) with them in scoring position.

Gil and Barns teamed up in the fourth and eighth innings to produce most of the runs.

Gil’s three-run homer in the fourth came before Barns’ two-run blast that made it 7-1. In the eighth, Gil’s RBI double preceded Barns driving in two with a single.

Chris Sargent and Pearce Howard added sacrifice flies for Ogden.

The fourth game of a six-game series is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Friday.
