Montana’s battle-tested senior bat still drives the Griz
Saxton finished the 2026 season as Montana’s lone senior and one of its most reliable run producers, batting .306 with 18 extra-base hits and leading the team with veteran edge in a big leap from 8 wins in 2025 to 22 in 2026. In the 2026 season, she also showed rare toughness after multiple shoulder surgeries, while still giving Montana quality at-bats from the No. 2 spot and enough versatility to handle the infield when needed. She’s the kind of gritty, high-IQ, culture-setting player you want if you value production plus resilience.
