LEWISTON - The defending 5A state champion Timberwolves opened their 2012 campaign with a 2-0, 12-0 road sweep of the Bengals.
Lake City began its season with a Vanessa Shippy walk and stolen base, and she was brought home by Casey Stangel's RBI single. The error-free opener remained tight, with the T-Wolves adding a run in the sixth as Amber Edwards scored on Jordyn McCracken's double.
In the second game, Dakota Wilson's 3-run triple keyed a four-run first inning, then Stangel cleared the bases with a double as Lake City scored five second-inning runs.
Hailey Jackson had four hits in the nightcap, including a double and triple, while Katie Rowe added three hits and 2 RBIs.
Stangel won both games on the mound, allowing only a fifth-inning hit-by-pitch in the second contest. The junior had 16 strikeouts in the two games.
