PREP SOFTBALL: Malloy helps Timberlake rally for sweep

SPIRIT LAKE - Katie Malloy hit a two-run home run with two out in the sixth inning of the second game as the Timberlake Tigers swept the visiting Priest River Spartans 8-1 and 6-5 in an Intermountain League doubleheader Saturday.

Olyvia Owen hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning of the first game for Timberlake (8-4, 5-1 IML), which travels to Priest River on Tuesday.

"It's what we needed," Timberlake coach Mike Menti said. "We haven't been playing good softball and it was good for our confidence, and that's what we needed. We finally put a full day together and played good defense and hit the ball."

Ayonna Lentz hit a three-run home run in the third inning of the second game for Priest River (8-6, 2-2).

COEUR d'ALENE - Lindsie Scholwinski struck out nine and pitched a five-inning perfect game in the opener, and Mariah Montee struck out six in the second game as the Vikings swept a doubleheader from the Bulldogs at Larry Schwenke Field.

Rashell Shaffer had three hits and five RBIs in the first game and Zoe Clark hit a two-run home run in the second game for Coeur d'Alene (13-3), which hosts Lake City in a 5A Inland Empire League doubleheader on Tuesday at 3 p.m.

"It was windy and cold, then sunny, then windy and cold," Coeur d'Alene coach Larry Bieber said. "It was our senior day, so it was really good for our seniors (Scholwinski, Shaffer, Caelyn Orlandi) to have a good day. Orlandi had a couple of hits (including) a triple and it's her first year in softball, so it was good to see that, and Shaffer had a good day at the plate. It was just a good senior day."
