The Columbia Falls softball team had a rough go of it against AA Kalispell Glacier last week, losing 7-0, but bounced back Monday to blank Whitefish 16-0 in a game that went three innings at home.
The Wildkats racked up 9 hits against the Bulldogs and had 7 walks in the contest, as the young Whitefish squad struggled against the Kats.
Annika Reid and Maddie Moultray both had dingers against the Bulldogs as the Kats went through the lineup and then some in the first inning. Moultray and Haden Peters combined for the no-hit shutout of the Lady Bulldogs.
Kalispell Glacier proved much tougher.
The game was tight through three innings, as the Wolfpack were up 1-0. But in the top of the fourth they put four runs on the board with three singles.
The Wolfpack then added a run in the top of the sixth and the seventh to seal the win.
The Wildkats had just one hit in the game, Maddie Moultray went the distance on the mound, but gave up 12 hits and had four earned runs.
The girls played Polson Tuesday after presstime and then travel to Ronan Thursday. They then travel to Lewistown for a tourney on Saturday.
