LEGION BASEBALL: Zeller helps Prairie notch first victory

POST FALLS — Spencer Zeller went 3 for 5 and drove in six runs, leading a comeback that lifted the Prairie Cardinals class AA Legion team past the Moses Lake Spuds 15-13 on Tuesday night at Post Falls High.

Zeller hit a three-run double in the fourth inning for Post Falls (1-2). He hit a three-run triple in the eighth to tie the game, then scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice play by Trevor Miller, as part of an eight-run inning.

The Cardinals were three outs from being 10-runned in the seventh, trailing 13-3. Jared Passinetti hit a two-run double to trigger a four-run uprising by Prairie.

“They battled tonight, and made things happen in the seventh and eighth to pull it out,” Prairie coach Mick Zeller said.

The Cardinals, who were scheduled to play in the Senior Wood Bat Tournament this weekend before it was canceled, returns to action next Tuesday with a single game vs. Northern Lakes at Lakeland High.
