Libby softball squad slams Eureka, stays unbeaten

The Libby Loggers softball team put together a dominant performance March 31, rolling to a 14-2 win over Eureka behind a balanced offensive attack and strong pitching.

Libby wasted no time taking control, scoring four runs in the first inning, one in the second and adding seven more in the third to build an early double-digit lead. The Loggers finished with 14 hits and did not commit an error.

Bentley Houston led the way at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a triple and three RBIs. Maddie Willis had a big all-around game, finishing with two doubles, two runs and two RBIs, and Rossi Baney contributed two hits, one triple and two RBIs. Lexie Kim also had a double.

In the circle, Libby combined for a strong outing. Weslee MacDonald earned the win, allowing one run on one hit over two innings while striking out one. Maddie Willis tossed a scoreless inning and Carmen Kohler closed things out, allowing one run over two innings with three strikeouts. As a staff, Libby limited the Lady Lions to just two hits.

Libby is now 2-0 on the season. The Loggers will play Saturday at Columbia Falls.
