Polson softball wins sixth state title

The Polson softball team has done it again.

The Lady Pirates downed Frenchtown 7-1 in the state championship game, for their sixth title in school history.

Polson had made quite a run through the tournament, defeating Anaconda 10-0 on Thursday, then Billings Central 8-4 on Friday.

On Saturday, it was a game of epic proportions as the Lady Pirates took on state softball power Frenchtown in the undefeated game. They knocked off the Lady Broncs, 4-1 in the morning, but Frenchtown wasn't done just yet.

The Lady Broncs climbed back into the state championship game by defeating Belgrade 10-0 in the third-place game, which set a rematch against Polson.

The Lady Broncs defeated them 7-6 in the first game to force a second game with the winner taking home the state title. The Lady Pirates didn't wilt under the pressure though and defeated Frenchtown 7-1 for Montana's crown.

Polson has won the Class A softball championship in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2010 and now in 2011.
