(Kelly Korsbeck) – The Havre Blue Pony softball team made a strong statement Saturday in their home opener of the season, defeating Miles City in six innings, (12-2).
The Cowgirls opened up scoring with a run in the first inning, to which Havre responded by plating two runners. The Lady Ponies then opened up the bats in the fourth, tagging 5 runs. Miles City added a run in the fifth inning, but it was the sixth inning that closed the contest, as Havre tallied five more runs, putting the 10-run rule in effect.
Havre racked up 10 hits in the game, led by catcher Camille Keeley with three. Despite the strong showing, the Lady Ponies also made four errors to the Cowgirls’ one. Rachel Jette got the nod for the circle, throwing all six innings for eight strike outs and two walks.
The Havre ladies (2-0) will take the home field again on Thursday to battle with Dawson County. Varsity first pitch will be 6p.
