MOSCOW — Emily Vanderhoof, Katie Kastning and Kari Prockish drove in three runs each for the Lakeland Hawks in a 25-20 win over the Moscow Bears in the second game of a 4A Inland Empire League doubleheader on Thursday at Ghormley Park.
“We cleaned up our errors for the second game,” Lakeland coach Colleen Bevacqua said. “We started stringing our hits together and playing as a team. We’re really proud of the girls.”
Savannah Pruitt hit a solo home run in the first inning of the first game for Lakeland, the first of her four hits in the opener.
Lakeland (5-12, 5-1 4A IEL) hosts Sandpoint (3-3 4A IEL) in a doubleheader on Tuesday.

Timberlake 7-5
Sandpoint 4-4
SANDPOINT — Timberlake rallied in the sixth inning from a 4-0 deficit to win 5-4 over Sandpoint in the nightcap of a nonleague softball sweep at Sandpoint Middle School.
The Tigers (9-8) scored five runs in the top of the sixth, finally breaking through against Sandpoint starter Bri Baldree to earn pitcher Shelby Salois the win. In the opener, the Tigers scored six runs in the fourth inning of a 7-4 win. The opener was shortened to five innings for time constraints.
“It was a great comeback win for us,” Timberlake coach Mike Menti said. “The girls’ ability to be down 4-0 and come back and get a win means we’re heading in the right direction.”
Morgan Bluemer had two hits to lead the Bulldogs (5-9), who scored four runs in the second, backing a strong outing from Baldree, who put up zeroes until the pivotal sixth inning.
Timberlake hosts Priest River on Saturday in a doubleheader at 11 a.m.
