In a heartbreaking doubleheader, the Montana State University Billings softball team lost both games to Central Washington, suffering walk-off defeats in each. The Yellowjackets, who held leads in both contests, fell short by scores of 4-3 and 6-5. Despite solid performances, crucial late-inning rallies by the Wildcats denied MSUB any victories in this Great Northwest Athletic Conference series.
