Area softballers showcase their talent in World Series
The Missoula-based 14U Garden City Junior Leaguers (GCJL) showed the world that Montana girls know a thing or two about how to play softball despite growing up in a state that features more cattle than people. GCJL posted a record of 4-2 on the Junior League World Series stage, unfortunately dropping their first seeded bracket play contest that would deny them access into the hardware rounds. The Mission Valley affiliated contingent of Josie Caye (Polson), Destiny Manuel (Charlo), Morgan Holmes (2nd generation Ronan grad) and Grace Hardy (2nd generation Charlo grads) collaborated on 15 hits over the course of the tournament, scoring a dozen runs while generating nine RBIs overall.
