Softball: Wildkats hold off Loggers

COLUMBIA FALLS — Kylie Gjesdal-Davis homered and Addy Bowler tripled during Columbia Falls’ four-run fourth inning, and the Wildkats held off Libby for a 5-4 win in Northwest A softball Thursday.

Gjesdal-Davis' solo homer broke a 1-1 tie and Bowler’s two-out triple put the Kats (3-4) up 4-1; Bowler then scored Columbia Falls’ final run as part of a double steal with Tayler Lingle. 

Libby fought back with Rachel Kosters’ RBI double in the fifth and run-scoring singles from Kosters and Peyton Waggoner in the seventh. That left Waggoner at third as the tying run, but the next Logger flied out to end it.
