Behind five home runs, Buhl battered Burley in an American Legion Baseball Class A doubleheader on Friday.

The Tribe got four homers in their 16-5, run-rule win in Game 1, including Cader Owen's grand slam in the sixth inning. Dylan Brooks added a three-run shot, while Matt Hamilton and Marco Avelar added solo shots.

Buhl totaled 26 hits in the two games, including 10 for extra bases.

Burley kept it tight in Game 2 until Nick Hamilton's three-run homer in the fifth put Buhl up 6-3.

Buhl (25-9, 24-8 Area C) could finish at high as No. 3 in Area C, depending on other teams' results today.

Class A Cyclones come up short

The Jerome Cyclones capped their Class A American Legion Baseball season with a pair of losses at Hillcrest on Friday.

After being held to one hit in a 7-2 opening loss, Jerome nearly got the win in Game 2 before falling 4-3.

The Cyclones had a runner at third with one out in the seventh, but couldn't bring the tying run across.

Ryan Foster's RBI double highlighted Jerome's Game 2 performance.

Jerome, which forfeited its games against Bonneville today, ends the regular season 3-29. The Cyclones will play in an Area C Tournament play-in game on Monday with time and place to be determined.
