PREP SOFTBALL: Malloy sparks Timberlake to sweep at Bonners
BONNERS FERRY - Sydnie Malloy went 6 for 8 with three doubles and a triple on the day as the Timberlake Tigers swept an Intermountain League doubleheader from the Bonners Ferry Badgers on Saturday, winning 9-5 and 16-0.
Trailing 3-1 in the fifth inning in the first game, Timberlake pitcher Nicole Cameron hit a two-run single to tie the game and Katie Malloy doubled with the bases loaded to give the Tigers a 6-3 lead.
In the second game, Cameron and Sydnie Malloy had three hits apiece for Timberlake (7-2, 6-0 IML), which travels to Lakeland for a doubleheader Monday.

Moscow 10-8
Sandpoint 2-2
SANDPOINT - The Bulldogs were able to plate two runs in the first inning of both games against Moscow, but ace Raelynn Gosse put up goose eggs the rest of the way, leading the Bears to a sweep in a 4A Inland Empire League doubleheader at Travers Park.
Laurel Presser and Maggie Kirscher each ripped a double, and Kayanna Quigley scored a run in the first game, but the Bulldogs (1-5, 0-4 4A IEL) were outhit 17-4 as Gosse went the distance.
Carlie Hoerth held the Bears (5-4, 3-1 4A IEL) in check in the nightcap, as the Bulldogs trailed 4-2 heading into the sixth inning. Hoerth and Quigley each had two hits in defeat, while Presser and Kirscher each hit a double.
Despite the losses, Bulldogs coach Derek Dickinson said his team is much improved from last season and is playing with more competitive fire.
"We played some softball today and had some nice stretches," he said. "The offense just didn't come through today."
