Lady Beavers Out-Hit Libby but Fall 10-6 on the Road

The Beaverhead County Lady Beavers racked up 12 hits Friday but couldn’t overcome early miscues, falling 10-6 to the Libby Loggers.

Beaverhead County had four players with multi-hit games, as Ashlyn Burk, Reese Jensen, Lilla Guiberson, and Kaitlyn Konen each collected two hits.

Libby jumped out to an early lead in the second inning, capitalizing on a walk and defensive errors to plate four runs.

The Lady Beavers responded in the third when Bridget Lovaas launched a two-run home run to left field to cut into the deficit.

However, Libby answered with a big inning of its own, scoring five runs in the bottom of the third. Maddie Willis hit a solo home run, while additional runs came off a sacrifice fly and Beaverhead County errors.

The Lady Beavers fought back in the fourth inning. Ashlyn Burk connected on a solo home run to center field, and Mya Creighton followed with a two-run single to bring the score to 9-5.

Libby added an insurance run in the bottom of the fourth on Willis’ second home run of the game.

Lovaas and Creighton each drove in two runs to lead the Lady Beavers offensively.

Tymber Barnes took the loss in the circle for Beaverhead County, while Weslee MacDonald earned the win in relief for Libby.

Despite the loss, the Lady Beavers showed strong production at the plate, finishing with 12 hits.

Beaverhead County will look to bounce back Friday when they travel to take on the Laurel Locomotives.
