Blue Pony softball hosted its second home game of the season on Thursday night, facing Dawson County at Sixth Avenue Memorial Field. The result was a (12-6) Havre victory.
It wasn’t all fun and games early on as the Red Devils struck for an RBI single in the top of the first inning. Havre battled back in the third inning, putting up a five-spot in the frame. Adi Olson drove in a run on a single, followed by a Rachel Jette RBI double to score Olson and Camille Keeley. The next at-bat was Brenna Hanson, who clobbered a two-run homer to extend the edge. It was her first home run of the season.
Glendive got a run back in the fourth inning, but the Ponies responded yet again, putting up seven runs in the bottom of the inning, After Bree Hanson got on the board with an RBI single, Keeley smacked a grand slam, her first homer of the year. Two batters later, Brenna Hanson went yard again for her second four-bagger of the game, this time a two-run shot.
Jette got the win in the circle, tossing a complete game with seven strikeouts and just one walk.
The undefeated Ponies (3-0) have to turn right around and play in Lewistown at the Fergus Tournament on Friday. The opponents will be Laurel at 11:30am, followed by Billings Central at 3:30pm. New Media Broadcasters will have a write-up for evening sports.
