Post Falls, Cd'A split in softball

SOFTBALL

COEUR d'ALENE - Richelle Ashburn fired 15 strikeouts and Dara Kolar's two-run single in the top of the sixth inning knocked in the eventual game-winning run as Post Falls beat Coeur d'Alene 5-3 in the first game of a 5A Inland Empire League doubleheader Tuesday at Larry Schwenke Field.

Brooke Litalien put the Trojans (11-7, 4-5) on the board with a three-run homer in the top of the first. The freshman had three hits in the game.

Jessica Lupinacci had three hits, one RBI and scored three times, Lindsie Scholwinski struck out eight and Coeur d'Alene won the nightcap 8-1.

"It was like two different ballgames," Coeur d'Alene coach Larry Bieber said. "In the first game our bats were dead and Ashburn was throwing BBs and we didn't make adjustments.

"We played good 'D' both games and our bats came alive in the second game."

Post Falls hosts Coeur d'Alene on Thursday and the Vikings (20-4, 7-3) host Lake City today at 4.

TRACK AND FIELD

Kootenai sweeps

North Star meet

SANDPOINT — Dillon Zarpentine swept the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters and Jacob Zarpentine won the 110 hurdles and the shot put, helping lead the Kootenai boys to a one-point win over Wallace at the North Star League championships at Sandpoint High.

Kendall Walton won the 100 and 200 and Ellison Schultz claimed the 800 and 1,600 to lead the Warrior girls to the team title as well, beating runner-up Lakeside by 34 points.

On a day when every point mattered for the Kootenai boys, who won their third straight NSL title, George Wallace showed the kind of effort that helped make the difference, diving to hand off the baton at the end of the exchange zone, skinning his elbows and shoulders, but getting the baton to his teammate in time.

Dylan Hill raced to wins in the 100, 200 and 400 to lead the Wallace boys.
