Booth lifts Post Falls

POST FALLS - Tyler Booth hit a game-ending RBI double and took the win on the mound in the Trojans' first game of the season, an 8-7 win over West Valley.

Tied 7-7 in the bottom of the fifth, Booth brought home Tyler Shelton, who had singled and was sacrificed to second by Tyson Herndon.

Post Falls coach Mick Zeller said it was the team's first time on dirt this season.

"We have not even practiced outdoors yet. It's been horrible.

Zeller said West Valley was playing its 11th game of the season.

"Our defense played well and bailed us out of a jam in the fourth. Booth came in in the third and did a great job, pitching 2 1/3 shutout innings."

The Trojans (1-0) host Lakeland today at 3:30.
