McCullough drives in four as Post Falls rolls at Lakeland
* BASEBALL
RATHDRUM - Max McCullough had two hits and drove in four runs, leading the Post Falls Trojans past the Lakeland Hawks 12-5 in a nonleague game at Gorton Field on Wednesday afternoon.
"We had a hard time getting into the groove of the game today," Lakeland coach Jason Bradbury said. "Nothing seemed to feel right. We had a lot of costly errors that really hurt us early in the game, and Post Falls seemed to capitalize on every one of them. It's hard to win games when you have to give up more than three outs per inning. (Dalton) Lozier started the game on the mound and did a good job for them. He was around the strike zone all day and hit his spots well."
Blake Wrotenbery went 3 for 3 with two RBIs and two stolen bases for Lakeland (4-5), which travels to Timberlake today.
Post Falls (8-2) travels to Lake City for a doubleheader on Saturday at noon.
