Montana City beats Boulder in Little League

It was a clash of the purple teams at the North Jefferson Baseball Little League Championship game when the M5 Montana City team faced off against the M8 Boulder team in Clancy on Thursday evening.

Although the Boulder little league team took control of the field with three runs and three consecutive outs in the top and bottom of the first inning, the Montana City players gathered some momentum to tie up the score. The drive continued for the North County players until they ultimately finished on top with eight runs to Boulder’s six.

“The team came so far, and I couldn’t be more proud of them,” the Montana City head coach Jason Pekovitch told The Monitor after the game. The team entered and exited the season with only eight players–leaving an unfilled position on the field. Pekovitch added that many of the players were rookies.
