The undefeated Havre Blue Ponies came to town on Saturday and took no mercy on the Lady 'Dogs, but the Whitefish girls at least got a chance to learn from a tough and talented softball team.

At Smith Fields, the Lady Bulldogs lost 5-11 and 3-13 to conference-leading Havre (5-0). The Blue Ponies out-hit Whitefish 18-11 in the first game. Havre's pitcher had a slow delivery, and it threw off the Whitefish batters who were champing at the bit a little too much.

The Lady 'Dogs (0-4) trailed 1-5 after three innings, and three runs in the sixth inning wasn't enough to overcome giving up four runs in the top of the seventh.

Leadoff hitter Adele FauntLeRoy went 2-for-4 in the first game, while pitcher Carolyn Sharpe went 2-for-3.

In the second game, Havre jumped out early, scoring six runs in the second and third innings. Madison Tveidt went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI for Whitefish.

The Blue Ponies took advantage of fielding errors and stole bases whenever they had a chance. They also turned singles into doubles with risky baserunning that the Whitefish girls just missed taking advantage of.

After a game in Polson on April 23, (tonight), the Whitefish girls travel to Anaconda on April 30. The JV squad looks to complete a season sweep of Columbia Falls in a double-header on April 27.
