Kaydee Walcheck’s sacrifice fly scored Olivia Warriner with the winning run, and Glacier took a 5-4, eighth-inning victory from Missoula Big Sky Tuesday on the Wolfpack’s home field.
The Wolfpack needed extra innings to hand the Eagles (12-1-1 overall, 8-1 in the Western AA) their first league loss. Glacier (12-2, 7-2 in league) led 3-0 early on Kenadie Goudette’s bases-clearing double, but saw Big Sky come back to tie the game at 3-3 and 4-4.
In the eighth Warriner led off with a single, moved up when Cazz Rankosky was hit by a pitch and took third on Emma Cooke’s sacrifice bunt.
Ella Farrell was walked to set up the force but Walcheck — in her first plate appearance of the day — got enough distance on her fly to right to score Warriner.
The win avenged an early 5-1 loss to Big Sky. Farrell went the distance on the hill, allowing four hits and five walks. She hit three batters and struck out 12.
Glacier is on the road Thursday to face Missoula Sentinel.
