Montana batters put the ball in play early and -- combined with three Idaho State errors in the first -- coasted to a 4-2 win and series sweep over the Bengals in Big Sky Conf. action today.

Winning pitcher, freshman ace Michaela Hood, fanned 10 Bengal batters and took a one-hit shut out through five innings before giving up 3 hits and two runs in the bottom of the seventh. Hood recovered to retire the final two Bengal batters with a runner on third for the game's final outs.

Montana only got one official first-inning hit -- a single by freshman Lexi Knauss -- but by putting the ball into play, took an early 3-0 lead, which they extended to 4-0 on a fifth-inning RBI double by Ashley Lyons that scored MaKenna McGill and Delene Colburn.

The win boosted Hood's record to 6-6 and Montana's record to 14-17 overall and 3-0 in conference play, with sole possession of first. The Griz travel to North Dakota next week.
 
ISU deserved to get swept - if for no other reason than that they didn't see fit to originate TV coverage for Pluto. :lame:
 
UND is moving the Griz series to the Alerus for its first softball games. A lot of snow on the ground after weekend storms and the forecast isn’t much better.

Indoor softball is always very interesting. Last year we played at UNI and it definitely had its ups and downs. Hopefully the makeshift field will not pose any problems.
