Montana’s season comes to an end
5/9/2024 6:08:00 PM | Softball
The Montana softball team's season came to an end with an 11-0 loss to No. 5 Weber State on Thursday afternoon in an elimination game at the Big Sky Conference Championship in Pocatello, Idaho.
The Wildcats (22-27) scored one run in the first, two in the second, seven in the third and one in the fourth to win by run rule after four and a half innings.
Montana (17-33), the No. 6 seed, had five hits in the game, all singles, with Hannah Jablonski collecting two. Jocelyn Eisen, Kynzie Mohl and Riley Stockton each had one hit.
Montana had runners on base all five innings but could not break through against WSU starter Brooke Hatfield or Jayci Finch, who pitched the top of the fifth in relief.
Grace Haegele (7-10) got the start for Montana after an effective relief appearance in Thursday's 7-5 loss to No. 3 Sacramento State but only made it two batters into the second inning.
The Wildcats went up 3-0 on a two-run home run in the second off Haegele, then sent 11 batters to the plate in the third, when the lead ballooned to 10-0.
All seven runs in the bottom of the third came with two outs. Montana aided Weber State's big inning with two walks, a hit batter and an error.
Rylee Rehbein and Emmalyn Brinka both pitched in relief.
Presley Jantzi went 0 for 2 with a walk to finish her junior season just shy of the .400 mark at .393.
