The Havre Northstars had their first road game of the season on Wednesday evening, traveling down to Great Falls to take on the Chargers. Once again, the Northstars fell short, losing by the final score of (7-3).
While the Northstars were shut out to open the season against this team, the three runs scored was an encouraging sign. After giving up two runs in the first inning, Havre crossed the plate three times in one inning, which was the third. Left fielder Archer Sawdy would score on an error after second baseman Tyson Brandon was able to reach base. Two batters later, designated hitter Jevin Jenkins singled in Brandon, but not before shortstop Ezra Pyle scored in the same at-bat via a wild pitch.
Great Falls would answer back with two runs in the fourth inning, followed by three insurance runs in the fifth inning to put the game away. Northstars batters struck out 10 times throughout the the game.
After a scrimmage with the Great Falls Voyagers back home on Saturday, Havre (2-3) will be back out on the road for a day trip to Billings to take on the Cardinals for the first time in program history on Sunday.
