Timberlake wins twice at tourney
• SOFTBALL
SPIRIT LAKE - Senior Cheyenne Neal went 4 for 7 with six RBIs on Saturday as the Timberlake Tigers went 2-0 in the Bonners Ferry Invitational at Timberlake High.
In the first game, Neal and Jenna Hoffman had RBIs in the first and second innings, respectively, as Timberlake defeated Priest River 2-1.
"Nicole (Cameron) did a great job in the circle of letting them put the ball in play and letting the defense play behind her," Timberlake coach Mike Menti said. "It was a great game. Both teams played great defense."
Timberlake jumped out to a 5-0 lead after the first inning on the way to a 14-4 win over Bonners Ferry in five innings.
"It was nice to see our bats come alive," said Menti of the team's output against Bonners Ferry. "We were able to string together some good hits. It was nice to have the offense going like it should be going."
The games were moved to Spirit Lake because of wet field conditions in Bonners Ferry.
Ashlei Jerome went 4 for 8 on Saturday for Timberlake (2-1), which travels to St. Maries on Saturday.

Orofino 5-11
OROFINO - Junior Marlee Masterson homered in both games for the Lumberjacks in a nonleague doubleheader split with the Maniacs.
Masterson hit a two-run home run to tie the game in the fifth inning and Dusti Huddleston came around to score the eventual game-winning run on a passed ball in the seventh inning. Chelsea Grosvenor scored on an RBI single by Calah Allen to add an insurance run for St. Maries.
In the second game, Orofino used an eight-run first inning to move on to an 11-4 win.
"It was a matchup of two evenly matched teams," St. Maries coach Todd Bitterman said. "In the first game, they committed a few errors and we did in the second game."
