PREP BASEBALL: Trojans now 4-0 after pair of wins in Yakima

YAKIMA, Wash. — Sophomore Nate Buer drove in six runs on the day, four in the second game, and Post Falls was near-flawless in beating Davis High 15-2 in six innings and Eisenhower High 12-1 in five on Saturday.

In the opener at Davis, Wyatt Setien went 3 for 3, scored four runs and drove in one for Post Falls (4-0), and Dusty Weeks and Jake Pfennigs each drove in three runs.

In the second game at Ike, Matt Lebsock’s grand slam in the fifth closed out the scoring and helped the Trojans get an early start home, via the 10-run rule.

“We played pretty good baseball today,” Post Falls coach Dustin Frank said. “Our pitchers threw a lot of strikes. Our defense, between the two games, made one error. We hit the ball hard today; we scored a lot of runs. We had no baserunning errors; we just played two complete baseball games.”

Post Falls plays at Pasco on Thursday, then remains in the Tri-Cities to face Chiawana in a doubleheader Friday in Richland.

Timberwolves drop two to start season

KENNEWICK, Wash. — Kyle Manzardo had three hits, and Cody Garza and Jarred Hall finished with two each for the Timberwolves in an 8-7 loss to the Kamiakin Braves.

“We faced some really good competition today,” Manzardo said. “The guys were able to play in some good ballparks and played some quality opponents. The attitude was great in both games. We’ve got a great group of seniors, and I’m confident that we’re going to go in the right direction. Overall, I’m pleased with what we did today.”

Manzardo previously coached baseball at North Idaho College.

Garza had two hits against Kennewick.

Lake City opened the scoring in the first inning against Kennewick as Kodie Kolden singled and scored on a fielder’s choice.

Lakeland 9-15

Colville 5-4

RATHDRUM — Tucker Price and Dylan Bradbury finished with three RBIs each for the Hawks in the first game of a doubleheader sweep of the Indians at Gorton Field.

“We got a couple of good wins today,” Lakeland coach Jason Bradbury said. “Our bats woke up a little bit, and we hit well in key situations. Tucker hit a bases clearing triple that really seemed to spark the team and Dylan hit a double to give us some insurance.”

In the second game, Jared McDaniel had three hits and three RBIs as the Hawks beat the Indians 15-4 in five innings.

“It was a lot of fun coaching my team today,” Bradbury said. “They played well in all facets, everyone contributed throughout the entire lineup and seemed to be having fun. It was a good day for us.”
