PREP ROUNDUP: Errors cost Timberlake in softball loss to Newport

* SOFTBALL

NEWPORT - The Timberlake Tigers left 11 runners on base and committed two errors on the final two plays of the game and fell to the Newport Grizzlies 6-5 in a nonleague softball game Thursday.

"We just didn't come up with the clutch runs when we needed them," Timberlake coach Mike Menti said. "If we get those runners in, it's not a problem."

Nicole Cameron had seven strikeouts for Timberlake (2-2), which is scheduled to host Kellogg in an Intermountain League doubleheader on Saturday.

"Nicole did a real good job for us today," Menti said. "We just didn't do a good job behind her defensively and give her enough runs."
