By Coach Lauren Bartoe The Bonners Ferry girls softball team was scheduled to host a season opening tournament, but due to field conditions, the tourney was held Saturday at Timberlake. The Badgers played two games to begin the season. The girls started off with against Kellogg, scoring the winning run in the seventh inning to top the Wildcats 6-5. Jordan Porter pitched the first four innings, recording four strikeouts in the process. Chelsea Taggart came in for the final three innings and worked for three strikeouts. Amanda Riley completed the battery as catcher. On the offensive side, Taggart went two for four and Porter went three for four. Kellogg's T. Ivie and L. Hoven both went two for four. The second game against Timberlake began with a slew of errors on defense, which put the Badgers down 0-5. They rallied with four runs, but lost 14-4. Porter and Taggart shared the mound with Riley catching. Taggart hit a home run while going three for three at the plate. Riley went two for three. This is a great beginning, and I expect to see more great things from these girls as the season continues. The Lady Badgers travel to St. Maries Tuesday for a 4 p.m. match, then head to Troy, Montana, on Thursday for a 3 p.m. game. They'll play a double header against Kellogg at home Saturday at 11 a.m. |
