MISSOULA - Nathan Jewett hit a three-run home run in the first to hand Missoula a lead which held up, as the Mavericks knocked the Coeur d'Alene Lumbermen American Legion team out of the Dale Dahlgren Memorial Day Tournament on Monday by a score of 7-3.

Jacob Gonzales had two hits, Suraj Kedia hit a two-run double in the last inning and Stephen Babich pitched a scoreless seventh via three ground balls for Coeur d'Alene.

"(Missoula) hit the ball at opportune times," Lumbermen coach Lloyd Duman said. "We actually stayed in the game and gave ourselves a chance, which was good to see."

The Lums (1-3) host Prairie on Wednesday, scheduled for the new Legion field on Ramsey Road behind the Kroc Center.
