Know this is a hoops board but thought a plug for the Montana Griz softball team would be appropriate. I think they were picked to finish 3rd in the Big Sky, but I think they'll mount a challenge.
I watched the Grizzly Classic this weekend & had a blast. This is a skilled, competitive, but above all... gritty team that never backs down. Some developing pitching talent, but outstanding infield defense... and a powerful team offensively. They're very well coached.
Montana won the round robin tourney (hosting Seattle U and Maine) and finished with a 5-1 record. Two wins were walk-offs against a good Seattle squad. Two wins were blowouts (shortened games).
The final game of the tourney was a gem. Griz down 6-2 late, but tied it on an inside the park homer, then walked off in extra innings, 8-8. Their games are on Eversport, if you're inclined to watch.
