Polson shuts out Libby

LIBBY — Katelyn Druyvestein threw a 5-hit shutout and had four hits from her leadoff spot, leading Polson over Libby 10-0 in Northwest A softball Saturday.

Courtney Benson got two of Libby’s five hits, including a double, but the Loggers (4-3 overall, 2-1 in league) couldn’t push a run across against the Pirates’ ace. Druyvestein struck out 15 hitters and walked none.

Polson (5-0, 2-0) got all the runs it needed in the first when Turquoise Pierre’s single to left was misplayed for an error, scoring Druyvestein — who’d led off with a single — and Nikki Kendall, who had walked. Pierre moved to third on the play, and scored on a grounder by Carli Maley to make it 3-0.

Marli hit a 2-run single to make it 8-0 in the fourth inning; Druyvestein’s 2-run double in the seventh capped the scoring.

Libby’s next action is Tuesday against visiting Columbia Falls, at 5:30 p.m.
