COEUR d'ALENE - Catcher Steve Semler hit a three-run home run and Lake Washington of Kirkland, Wash., spoiled the debut of Lake City coach Travis Georgius with a 15-0 victory over the Timberwolves in the season opener on Friday.
Ray Buley had two of Lake City's three hits, including a triple. The T-Wolves committed five errors.
"The pitching was actually really good for us; we were around the zone, at least early on," Georgius said. "And we actually put together some good ABs."

Hermiston 16-12
Post Falls 1-2
HERMISTON, Ore. - The Trojans were held to three hits in a pair of losses to open their season.
Carlin Rosetti's single with two out in the top of the fifth inning broke up the no-hitter. Kyra Haskew singled in a run in the fifth inning of the second game.
"We did play better in the second game," Post Falls coach Jack Foster said. "But you make a mistake and it seems like it snowballs."
The Trojans are playing without Dara Kolar, who hit .556 last season. Kolar is out until at least mid-April with a wrist injury.
Post Falls plays Southridge of Kennewick, Wash., at 11 a.m. and Kennewick at 1 p.m., both at Richland High.

Cd'A boys second
in 25-team event
KENNEWICK, Wash. - John Duffin and Kyle Kaufman each shot four-over 69s to finish tied for fourth in the 25-team Kennewick Invitational on Friday at the Tri-City Country Club.
Coeur d'Alene shot a 288 to finish second, with Richland shooting 278.
"We're coming on," Coeur d'Alene coach Bryan Duncan said. "I didn't think we played well at all in terms of putting. I think we averaged 35 putts each as a team, and the greens weren't that challenging compared to the Clarkston Country Club (where Cd'A played on March 4). We've got a long way to go to get where we need to be."
Nick Manzel of Southridge High in Kennewick shot a 62 to win medalist honors.
Coeur d'Alene travels to the Lewiston Invitational on Monday at the Lewiston Country Club.
