KENNEWICK, Wash. - Neil Schuck hit a three-run double in a five-run fourth inning as Walla Walla defeated the Coeur d'Alene Lumbermen 7-4 in their first pool play game in the Bandit Bash tournament at La Pierre Field on Thursday.

"It seemed like we came out a little flat today," Coeur d'Alene coach Lloyd Duman said. "We started to get into a rhythm, but the bottom of the fourth inning seemed to stop that."

Coeur d'Alene (15-4) had its 13-game winning streak snapped.

"We gave them some runners and they took advantage," Duman said. "In a wood bat tournament, you can't give runs away."

Grant Curtis had a two-run double to tie the game in the top of the fourth inning for Coeur d'Alene, which faces the Kennewick Bandits at Southridge High and Spokane Heat back at La Pierre Field to conclude pool play today. Jason Pattis hit an RBI triple in the seventh and scored on a sacrifice fly by Garrett Cabeza in the seventh for Coeur d'Alene.

Ryan James had eight strikeouts for Walla Walla.
