Hawks advance to 4A Region 1 title game
* BASEBALL
RATHDRUM - Troy Carr went 2 for 3 with three RBIs and three runs scored as the Lakeland Hawks defeated the Sandpoint Bulldogs 16-0 in a 4A Region 1 baseball tournament loser-out game Wednesday at Gorton Field.
Lakeland (17-4) advances to face Moscow (7-10) in the 4A Region 1 championship game starting at noon on Saturday at Moscow. Should Lakeland win, the teams will play an if-necessary game at 3 p.m. for the region's lone berth to the state 4A tournament at Bishop Kelly High in Boise.
"I just told my guys not to worry about too much too early on Saturday," Lakeland coach Jason Bradbury said. "If we're focused on every pitch, we'll let the score take care of itself. If we've got confidence in each other, we should be fine. Hopefully we'll get off the bus ready to go."
Jeremy McKinney went 2 for 3 with two RBIs and three runs scored for Lakeland, which had three pitchers combine for 12 strikeouts and no walks.
"We've really been working on keeping the ball down," Bradbury said. "We weren't locating our off-speed stuff last Saturday, but today we located it really well."
Sandpoint finishes 0-21.
