A fast start and timely hitting helped the Kalispell A Lakers open the John R. Harp Memorial Tournament with a statement win—and Madden Carrier was right in the middle of it. The Lakers' offense came alive in a pivotal third inning, and Carrier helped fuel the rally with one of his two doubles on the day, keeping the pressure on and extending Kalispell's lead.
Carrier finished with two extra-base hits, providing the offensive spark the Lakers needed to take control early and never look back. His ability to deliver in key moments helped Kalispell earn a tournament-opening victory in one of Northwest Montana's premier summer baseball events.
As the John R. Harp Memorial Tournament continues, the Lakers are looking to build momentum—and performances like Carrier's are a big reason why they're a team to watch this summer.
