Havre softball got to play in the confines of Sixth Avenue Memorial Field again on Tuesday, hosting rival Fergus. The Golden Eagles took down the Blue Ponies in an offensive slugfest, handing them their first conference loss of the season, (13-8).
Lewistown got the game started with a run in the first inning. That was followed up by four runs in the second to go up, (5-0). Havre showed life, getting runners on base and generating offense via a ground out and hit-by-pitch to score twice in the third inning. The Golden Eagles responded with one run in the fourth inning and another four runs in the fifth inning.
Camille Keeley launched her fourth home run of the season in the bottom of the inning, which was a two-run homer. She was brought back up with the bases loaded in the sixth inning and drew a walk to make it (11-5). The next batter was Rachel Jette, who promptly smacked a three-run triple, but that was the end of the threat. Fergus wouldn’t be denied, putting up two more runs in the seventh inning to end it with Havre going quietly in the bottom of the inning.
Blue Pony softball will host Glasgow on Thursday with varsity first pitch scheduled for 5:30pm.
