Lakeland sweeps for 2nd seed

BASEBALL

MOSCOW - Cody Vandever hit a first-inning grand slam to help propel the visiting Hawks past the Bears 14-11, 9-7 in a 4A Inland Empire League doubleheader sweep on Saturday.

"These were some big wins for us," Lakeland coach Jason Bradbury said. "We basically had to go down and split the games to get home field on Monday. The guys came out hitting the ball and they started coming in groups."

Daniel Mobeck and Kurt South had three hits apiece for Lakeland (9-10, 5-3 4A IEL) in the first game.

In the second game, the Hawks rallied from a 4-1 deficit to score seven runs in the sixth inning to complete the sweep.

"It was a good statement game for us," Bradbury said. "All our hits were timely and sporadic. Our kids competed all day and were having fun the entire day. Hopefully it continues into Monday."

Lakeland will host Moscow (4-18, 1-7) in the opening round of the 4A Region 1 tournament Monday at 4 p.m.

St. Maries 15-11

Priest River 13-5

PRIEST RIVER - The Lumberjacks scored six runs - all after two out in the top of the seventh inning - to steal the first game, and went on to an Intermountain League sweep of the Spartans.

Morgan Cummings started the scoring rally for St. Maries (13-6, 7-4 IML) with a two-run triple, and Dusti Huddleston capped things off after singling to bring in the go-ahead run and an insurance run.

"That shows a lot of fortitude in our team to come back in the seventh inning down four runs like that," St. Maries coach Todd Bitterman said.

Shortstop Holly Hirst went 4 for 4 with two triples and outfielder Emma Reed had three hits in the first game for Priest River (5-16, 3-8 IML).

Cummings went 3 for 4 in the first game, 3 for 5 in the second and recorded five RBIs. Magan Cummings also had three hits in the second game and nearly went for the cycle with a single, double and triple.

Tia Asbury improved to 9-4 on the season after picking up wins in both games.

St. Maries hosts Priest River on Tuesday to close out the regular season for both teams. The 3A District 1-2 tournament is this Friday and Saturday at Timberlake High.

Gencarella, Christo shine for Lake City

COEUR d'ALENE - Matt Gencarella and Dimitri Christo swept their No. 1 doubles matches as the Lake City Timberwolves split a pair of matches at Lake City High.

Lewiston took 7 of 12 matches over Lake City before the Timberwolves rebounded with 10 out of 12 wins against Moscow.

"Matt and Dimitri have been playing well this year," Lake City coach Tim Scott said. "It's looking like they'll be the top seed to districts and should do pretty good. Hopefully we'll do good enough as a team to bring it home."

Lake City's Karmen Frampton rallied from a 4-0 deficit to defeat Lewiston's Brittany Krauss, but the Timberwolves came up on the short end of a 7-5 loss to the Bengals.

"For Karmen to come back and win was pretty big," Lake City coach Bob Brunn said. "There were some outstanding matches today. We're hoping to finish strong at districts next weekend."

Lake City travels to Post Falls on Monday.
