Wolfpack slug way to 2 wins
BELGRADE — Kenadie Goudette led off the first inning of Glacier’s first game with a solo home run, and Zoey Allen hit three on the day as the Glacier slugged its way to two non-conference softball wins Saturday.
The Pack (11-2) hit four homers in an 11-0, five-inning win over Billings West, then slugged three more and in an 11-9 win over the Belgrade Panthers at the Class AA Crossover tournament.

Goudette’s home run started a nine-run first inning for the Wolfpack, with eight coming after two were out. Emma Cooke tripled, an error extended the inning three batters later Zoey Allen went yard for a 6-0 lead.
Bella Hodous was then hit by a pitch, Goudette hit a single and Olivia Warriner followed with another home run, making it 9-0.
Ella Farrell hit a two-run homer in the fourth; Farrell also threw a five-inning one hitter, and struck out eight.

Cooke’s RBI single in the fourth inning put the Pack ahead for good, 5-4; Paishance Haller hit a two-run homer and Allen followed with a solo shot to make it 9-4 in the fifth.
Allen added yet another home run, a two-run bomb, in the sixth — which was important because the Panthers, helped by two Wolfpack errors, scored four times in the seventh.
An RBI single by Ella Seaman cut the gap to 11-9, and brought the winning run to the plate. Farrell took over for Warriner in the circle — Warriner allowed just 3 earned runs in 6-plus innings, with eight strikeouts — and got a popup and strikeout to end it.
Haller, Cazz Rankosky and Allen all scored twice in the game, and Haller and Goudette stole bases.
