PREP ROUNDUP: Lakeland earns split with Moscow, remains tied for first in 4A IEL

BASEBALL

MOSCOW — Senior Tanner Vandever had three hits and two runs scored, Cameron Harris struck out 11 in the nightcap for Lakeland, which bounced back from a loss in the opener to beat the Moscow Bears 10-9 to split a 4A Inland Empire League doubleheader at the Moscow School District Community Playfields on Friday.

Lakeland lost the first game 11-5.

Raiston Ellwood and Sean Tierney each scored two runs for Lakeland, which scored six runs in the top of the fourth inning to rally to take a 10-7 lead. Garrett Love pitched a scoreless seventh to get the save for Lakeland (4-12, 3-3 4A IEL), which is tied for first in league with Moscow.

“We booted the ball around in the first game and had a couple of bad innings that really hurt us,” Lakeland coach Jason Bradbury said. “We cleaned it up a bit in the second game, and I was happy we responded with a win. A lot of guys contributed and Cam and Garrett were really good on the mound for us. I kept telling my team that we are only beating ourselves by giving up way too many free bases. If we can clean that up and play to our potential, then I know we will be tough to beat.”

Moscow (8-10, 3-3 4A IEL) hosts Sandpoint in a doubleheader on Tuesday.

Lakeland hosts Lake City on Monday.

Lake City 7-8

Lakeland 4-15

COEUR d’ALENE — The host Timberwolves captured the opener, before the Hawks used a nine-run sixth inning in the second game to earn a split of what became a nonleague doubleheader.

Since not all games between 5A and 4A teams in the Inland Empire League will not be able to be played, the league has reverted to separate 5A IEL and 4A IEL standings in softball and baseball.

In the first game, Kylee Palmer hit a two-run double to highlight a five-run third inning for Lake City (5-15). Erin Byrne hit a two-run double in the fifth for Lakeland (7-11).

In the second game, Alexis Hanna went 4 for 5 and drove in five runs for Lakeland, including a two-run single in the first and a two-run double in the fifth. Payton Sterling was 4 for 4 with three runs scored, and Harlee See drove in three runs, two on a sixth-inning double.

Jenna Glenn was 3 for 4 with two RBIs for Lake City, Kendall Pickford went 2 for 4 and scored twice, and Hope Bodak was 2 for 4 and drove in two runs.

BONNERS FERRY — After starting pitcher Acacia Pecor left the first game after one inning due to illness, sophomore Casey Whaley came on and pitched six shutout innings over two games as the Tigers swept the Badgers at Bonners Ferry High to wrap up another Intermountain League title.

Timberlake won the IML for the third straight year, for the sixth time since 2014, and for the 14th time since 2005.

Whaley struck out three and gave up three hits in three innings of the opener for Timberlake (17-2, 10-0 IML), then gave up one hit and fanned two in the nightcap.

“Casey pitched really well,” Timberlake coach Casi Lupinacci said. “And everyone hit the ball really well.”
