Flathead Players Shine in Blue-White Scrimmage (Oct. 19, 2003)

KALISPELL, MT – Sunday was a happy homecoming for at least two former Flathead High School players in the MSU Billings softball team’s second Blue-White scrimmage of the fall season.  Jordan Waverek (Jr., Kalispell, MT) was the winning pitcher in the White Team’s 5-4 win, and Caitlin Luehr (Fr., Kalispell, MT) drove in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The Yellowjackets were scrimmaging in Kalispell in large part because of the four Kalispell natives on the roster.  In addition to Waverek and Luehr, junior Sara Hanley and Luehr’s twin sister Natalie are former Bravettes that now play for the Yellowjackets.

Waverek replaced Joey Ehnes (Jr., Great Falls, MT) on the mound for the White Team and was the pitcher of record when Luehr hit her bases-loaded single in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the White the one-run victory.  Layne Pavey (Jr., Spokane, WA) and Theresa Campbell (Jr., Great Falls, MT) each homered for the White.

Stephanie Cochrun (Jr., Lake Stevens, WA) took the loss for the Blue Team after replacing starting pitcher Megan McCrae (Jr., Brandon, Manitoba) and giving up the winning run.  Cochrun hit a solo home run to spark the Blue offense.

The Yellowjackets return home to close out their fall schedule this Saturday with the Yellowjacket Fall Invitational at Cenex Stadium.
