POST FALLS - Kris Jackson struck out five over six innings Saturday, but the Prairie Cardinal "AA" team lost to the Spokane Bandits 6-3 at Post Falls High.

Spokane scored four runs in the top of the fifth, on three singles. Jackson allowed four earned runs and only walked one.

"They put some hits together, whereas we weren't able to put together multiple hits in any inning," Prairie coach Ron Mackie said.

Kenny Cooper went 2 for 3 with a triple for Prairie (6-6) and Jackson tacked on another triple.

Prairie plays Thursday through Sunday in the Seattle Premier League Showcase, with its first game Thursday against FCA at Bannerwood Park in Seattle.
