Polson faced a familiar foe in the MHSA Class A State Championships semifinal game, dropping the matchup 10-8 to Northwest A rival Columbia Falls on Saturday, May 25, in Billings.
Mckenna Hanson went 3-for-3 with two home runs, but three runs in the bottom of the sixth put Columbia Falls up by a margin that couldn’t be overcome by Polson’s two-run rally in the top of the seventh.
Hanson drove in four runs in the matchup, while Carli Maley also homered and drove in two runs. Olivia Jore also had a hit that left the park.
