The Deer Lodge Wranglers swept a Southern A doubleheader with the Butte Muckers Sunday afternoon at windy Copper Mountain Park.

After about an hour delay to get the field ready after Saturday’s heavy rainfall, Deer Lodge won the opener 12-0. The Wranglers completed the sweep with a 12-2 win in Game 2.

Both games were called after six innings by the 10-run rule.

Next up for the super-young Butte club is a conference doubleheader Wednesday night in Anaconda.
