North Stars win in Great Falls

The Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team was still in search of its first win of the young season when it traveled to Great Falls on Sunday afternoon.

And though the North Stars got just one of their scheduled two games in due to weather, they did come home with a victory. Sunday afternoon, the North Stars defeated the Electric City Volts senior Babe Ruth Team, 8-4 in a six-inning game. The win was Havre's first of the season, while the North Stars are 0-2 in Northern District play.

Sunday's game was tied 1-1 into the fourth inning, when the North Stars opened the door with a five-run inning. The Volts got three of their own in the fifth inning, but the North Stars were able to close the game out.

On the mound, Spencer Ross got the win for Havre as he scattered just two hits and struck out two. Jase Kato came on in relief, picked up the save and struck out three.

At the plate, Havre collected six hits, including two from catcher Ryne Antley. Antley had a run-scoring double as well. Thurman Holdsclaw, David Denny, Chance Pitkanen, Gavin Gunderson, Dustin Odegard and Deion Hammet also picked up hits for the North Stars.

Havre will now be off until the North Stars host the Volts on May 31 at Legion Field.
