Lums, Cards each drop two

COLFAX, Wash. - Coeur d'Alene Lumbermen Austin Kiefer and Alex Krapas each went 4 for 5 in an 8-7 loss to Lux Baseball of Seattle in their first game Friday of the Palouse Summer Series at Colfax High.

"We played a good game against a good team," Coeur d'Alene coach Lloyd Duman said. "We just ran out of gas there. The effort was there and it was a fun game."

Cameron Bartock hit a three-run home run to tie the game in the seventh inning for Lux Baseball.

In their second game of the day, the Lumbermen scored six runs in the first inning, but could not hold off the Seattle Stars in a 13-9 loss in six innings.

"We started off really fast against them," Duman said. "We're just playing some really good teams that can hit. We jumped on them fast, but slowly they started eating away at the lead and we couldn't hold them off. That's one of the reasons we come down here. It's a challenge to see how we'll play against these guys."

Derek Priano had two RBIs for Coeur d'Alene (9-7), which faces Lakeside Industries today at 1:30 p.m. and Taylor Baseball at 4 p.m. at Bailey-Brayton Field in Pullman.
