PREP ROUNDUP: Lake City wins twice in the rain at tournament
* SOFTBALL
On a rain-delayed day, the Lake City Timberwolves beat Emmett 15-0 and Pocatello 5-0 on Friday on the first day of the Idaho Sporting Goods tournament in the Treasure Valley.
In the first game, against the defending state 4A champions and played at Centennial High in Boise, Casey Stangel pitched a no-hitter with 12 strikeouts and two walks for Lake City. She also hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning, and Katie Rowe added a pair of solo homers. Hailey Jackson went 3 for 4 with a double and two RBIs for the Timberwolves.
The game was delayed more than an hour by rain in the bottom of the first inning and Lake City leading 7-0. The weather played havoc with the rest of the day's schedule, and instead of playing Centennial later Friday at Centennial, the T-Wolves ended up playing 4A Pocatello on Friday evening in a steady rain at Rocky Mountain High in Meridian.
Vanessa Shippy went 2 for 3 and scored a pair of runs for Lake City, and Amber Edwards was 2 for 3 with a run and an RBI. Stangel struck out 11 and walked two in a one-hitter.
The game was called in the bottom of the fifth due to rain.
"Considering the wet, rainy conditions, Casey threw the ball well today, and Katie Rowe swung the bat really well," Lake City coach Laura Tolzmann said. "Overall we were just happy to get some games in, despite the weather."
Lake City (4-0), playing for the first time since opening the season March 19 at Lewiston, is scheduled to conclude tourney play today vs. Eagle at 9 a.m. PDT and vs. Meridian at 11 a.m., both at Meridian High.
