The American Legion Post 20 Twins and Madisonville (Kentucky) Post 6 will play for the Lance Coz Wood Bat Tournament title Sunday at 1 p.m. at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai.
Auke Bay Post 25 and South Post 4 will play for third place at 10 a.m.
The tournament is named for Coz, the former Twins manager and head coach who was the rock of the program from 1975 until his death in 2020.
Coz did not get his named attached to the tournament until 2022, but the event has been around since 2004.
The Twins have won the tournament just once, when it was a round robin in 2009. Post 20 has been to the championship game six times and come up empty each time, though once was due to rainout.
Both the Twins and the Rangers enter the title game with 2-1 tourney records. South and Auke Bay are both 1-2.
Saturday, Madisonville defeated South 3-1, Post 20 defeated Madisonville 4-2 and Auke Bay defeated the Twins 9-3.
