Cats blank Troy on the road

Columbia Falls hammered Troy on the road last Thursday, 17-0. Cody Schweikert had four RBIs and Troy had a tough time on the mound, as their pitcher hit two Columbia Falls batters in the top of the first inning.

Dawson Juntunen went four innings and gave up just two hits to get the shut out for the Wildcats.

AC Chilson had a great day at the plate for the Wildcats, with a triple and a double and two RBIs. Matt Mitts also had a double and Kellen Kroger and Reggie Sapa both had triples as well.

The scoring onslaught began in the first after Jett Pitts singled, driving in a run, then Schweikert doubled to drive in two more. Mitts and Chilson knocked a triple to drive in Mitts. Dayne Tu then hit a liner out to drive in Chilson.

The Cats added a run in the second then four in the third and capped off the game with six in the fourth to end Troy’s day on the 10-run rule. The Wildcats are now 5-0. They were scheduled to play Bigfork at home Saturday, but it was rained out.

They face Whitefish Thursday at 7 p.m. at home.
