MISSOULA — Maddy Stensby threw the first no-hitter in Montana Grizzlies softball history Saturday, beating Portland State 8-0 in five innings Saturday.

Stensby missed the perfect game by issuing a leadoff walk in the second inning. She struck out just two, but kept hitters guessing at the plate, leading to weak contact and easy plays for the defense behind her.

“I was just feeling good today,” said Stensby, a freshman from Olympia, Wash. “I didn’t have a lot of strikeouts, it was a team effort. I didn’t even notice until the last inning that it was a no-hitter, but it felt like there was something special going on. Everyone was all in it, so I really feel like it was a team no-hitter more than anything.”

The Grizzlies won the second game of the Big Sky doubleheader 5-3. The Grizzlies improved to 17-23 overall and 6-5 in the Big Sky.
