RATHDRUM - Kristin Klopatek struck out six in the second game as the Lakeland Hawks shut out the Moscow Bears in the nightcap of a 4A Inland Empire League doubleheader 5-0 after losing the first game 4-1 on Saturday at Lakeland High.

"We were able to pull it off in the second game," Lakeland coach Colleen Bevacqua said. "Moscow has a tough team this year and we were able to work out some kinks and make it happen in the second game."

Lauren Schwalbach had three hits for Lakeland (2-3, 2-0 4A IEL), which travels to Lake City on Tuesday.

SPOKANE - Brooke Albertson hit a three-run home run in a 10-run fourth inning, and also had two doubles, as the Vikings beat the Highlanders in a nonleague game.
