Page, Dietrich lift Bayview in shutout
LEGION
RATHDRUM - J.D. Page drove in Troy Carr twice as the Bayview Whitecaps beat University 3-0 at Lakeland High in class A Spokane League play in a makeup game of one rained out Tuesday.
Page hit an RBI single in the first inning and an RBI triple in the third. Reece Dietrich pitched a three-hit shutout with three strikeouts and two walks.
"We just played really good defense," Bayview coach Kim Rogstad said.
Bayview (18-4, 9-2 league) plays a doubleheader at Asotin, Wash., Saturday beginning at 1 p.m.

COEUR d'ALENE - Returing to swinging aluminum bats, Lumbermen pounded out 19 hits - 10 in a 14-run fifth inning in which they batted around twice - in the nonleague win at McEuen Field.
"We have played 26 wood bat games this year, and that has had an effect, because they had to get a little stronger to swing a wood bat that many times," Coeur d'Alene coach Lloyd Duman said.
Mitch Bevacqua's three-run home run in the fourth inning put Coeur d'Alene (32-19) up 4-2, then the Lums poured it on in the fifth.
Bevacqua finished with four RBIs and Joe Roletto and Jason Pattis had three each.
Cranbrook has forfeited tonight's doubleheader at Coeur d'Alene, as well as Saturday's twinbill at Lewis-Clark. The Lums (15-3 in league with the two forfeit wins) have already clinched the class AA North Idaho League title, and will finish the regular season at home Saturday with a 5 p.m. doubleheader against Trail.
Prairie and Lewis-Clark have opted not to make up their rained-out doubleheader, so both will take one loss, but neither will get a win. Prairie (12-7 in league), Lewis-Clark and Trail are battling for the No. 2 seed to the Area A (district) tournament, which begins next Thursday in Trail. Cranbrook will be the No. 5 seed. Sandpoint will be the sixth seed because the Lakers joined the league late and were unable to schedule a full league season.

JUNIORS (age 13-14)
Post Falls 5, Coeur d'Alene 3: In a loser-out game at Bret James Memorial Field in Post Falls, Post Falls scored four runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by an RBI double by Chaz Bailey and a two-run double by Trevor Hammel.
Coeur d'Alene's Andrew Hicks pitched three perfect innings before being pulled so he would be eligible to pitch in a possible game on Saturday. Cd'A led 2-0 when he departed.
Post Falls advances to play Lakeland in the championship game Saturday at 9:30 a.m. If Lakeland wins, they advance to the state playoffs next weekend in Boise. If Post Falls wins, the teams will play again Sunday at 1:30 p.m. for the state berth.
