POLSON — Kyrah Trenkle had three hits, and she and Abbie Darsow hit home runs to lead Columbia Falls to a 14-4 Northwest A softball win over Polson Friday night.

Maddie Moultrey went the distance on the mound for Columbia Falls (9-1 overall, 3-0 in league games), which used two big innings to build a 14-0 lead and earn its first win over the Pirates since April of 2019. Moultray gave up eight hits and two walks, fanned eight, and helped her own cause with a double.

Polson hurt its cause with nine fielding errors, and just one of the nine runs Columbia Falls scored off ace Katelyn Druyvestein was earned.

Trenkle singled to start the Wildkats’ 8-run third, and capped it with a two-out, 2-run homer to center field. Darsow hit a 3-run shot to cap a fourth-inning outburst.

Haden Peters scored three times for Columbia Falls

Polson (5-1, 2-1) put up a crooked number in the fourth, getting an RBI double from Nikki Kendall and a 2-run triple from Jaivin Bad Bear. Down 14-4, the defending State A champions got a runner to second in the fifth inning, but couldn’t score and the game ended under the mercy rule.
