Warriner, Holt homer in Pack's 12-9 win

MISSOULA — Olivia Warriner had a double, a homer and three runs batted in and Glacier won a 12-9 Western AA softball slugfest with Missoula Big Sky Friday.

Warriner had four of the Wolfpack’s 18 hits and scored twice; she staked her team to a 1-0 lead with a solo homer to lead off the game.  

Big Sky (1-2) scored twice in the bottom of the first, only to see Glacier (2-0) get six runs in the second: Karley Allen put the Pack up 4-2 with a two-run double and Taelor Holt followed with a 2-run home run. Sophia Frederick capped the uprising with an RBI double, making it 7-2. 

The Pack pushed their lead to 9-5 in the third on Ava Grady’s two-run single, then padded a 9-7 lead out to 12-7 with Warriner hitting an RBI single in the sixth and Chloe Farrell singling in a run in the seventh. 

Grady, who came on to pitch in the third, threw five innings for the win. She allowed nine hits, a walk and four runs — Big Sky had RBI doubles from Madison Norcorss and Hayden Weaver in the seventh — and struck out eight.
