COLUMBIA FALLS — Friday’s matchup of state softball champions just about had it all: Dynamic pitching, noisy hits and — despite the chill and brief drizzle — much better weather than the Orioles-Pirates game.

Glacier rode a one-hit shutout from pitcher Ella Farrell to a 7-0 win over Columbia Falls in front of a large, bundled-up crowd. Wildkat baserunners were as rare as an open parking spot around their field, though Tayler Lingle led off the bottom of the first inning with a single.

After that Farrell walked three and fanned 13, showing why she is Montana’s reigning Gatorade Player of the Year. She also had two hits and drove in a run at the plate.
