Dismal day for softball |

By Coach Lauren Bartoe The BFHS softball team met league rival Timberlake on Saturday for a doubleheader. In what was probably the worst weather in softball history, the Badgers lost both games. With a starting temperature of 35 degrees, plus 25 mile an hour winds and frequent snow squalls limiting visibility, the players faced a wind chill temperature of 25 degrees. Hand warmers were kept inside gloves, a space heater was provided in the dugout and blankets and sleeping bags were piled on in between innings. The few highlights from the day were a great line drive by freshman Gabby Blackmore in the first game, and a stellar play from junior Makenzie Carle who, while pitching, took a line drive to the thigh - fell over, but still managed to crawl to the ball and throw the girl out at first base. (The scores were so dismal Bartoe said she'd rather not share them.) The next week will be busy for the girls as they have a double header vs. Libby on Monday, a home game vs. Timberlake on Tuesday, a single game vs. Newport, Washington, on Thursday and then Senior Night, the last home double header vs. Kellogg on Saturday starting at 11a.m. |
