* BASEBALL

Lewiston 6-3

Lake City 1-4

LEWISTON - Dominic Conigliaro singled to score Jarred Hall with the go-ahead run in the seventh inning of the second game, helping the Timberwolves earn a split against the Bengals in a 5A Inland Empire League doubleheader at Walker Field.

Hall, Carter Chaffin and Conigliaro had two hits each for Lake City in the second game.

"We swung the bats better this game, had lots of runners on base, but struggled getting them in," Lake City coach Travis Georgius said. "Sam Schultz had a nice sacrifice bunt in the seventh to move Jarred over and Dom stepped up big with a single to left to score him."

Lake City was limited to three hits in a loss in the first game.

"Zwink threw well, and it was good to see him have a strong outing after his last one," Georgius said. "Their guy pretty much shut us down all game with the fastball, which is something we are going to have to improve on come districts."

Lake City (9-8, 3-4 5A IEL) travel to Post Falls on Saturday.

Lewiston is 9-5, 2-3.
