PREP BASEBALL: Shaw, Lehman, Little fuel Sandpoint sweep of Lewiston

SANDPOINT — Sophomore Brennan Shaw struck out seven batters over six scoreless innings in the opener, senior Drew Lehman and junior Mason Little both went 3 for 4 with two RBI in the nightcap as the Sandpoint Bulldogs swept the Lewiston Bengals 7-0 and 16-6 in an Inland Empire League doubleheader Saturday at War Memorial Field.

Sandpoint coach Ricky Klontz said the plan heading into game one was to just get a few innings out of Shaw, but he looked sharp early on and was in the zone.

"Brennan got a lot of weak contact and kept his pitch count down — it was great," Klontz said. "Him being able to go six innings was fantastic and helped our pitching out a lot. He threw really well."

In the fourth inning of the second game, Lehman — a Columba Basin College commit — had an RBI triple and Little an RBI double to extend the lead to 10-6. Turner, who was 2-for-2 with a team-high four RBI in the contest, then knocked a two-run triple of his own and junior Sage Medeiros tacked an RBI single to cap off a five-run frame.

Sandpoint (8-10, 7-7 IEL) hosts Bonners Ferry in a doubleheader on Tuesday.

Lewiston (8-11, 5-9) travels to Coeur d'Alene for a doubleheader on Tuesday.

Post Falls 10-4

Lake City 8-13

POST FALLS — Isaiah Kearney singled to score Cooper Reese with the go-ahead run with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning for the host Trojans, who held off the Timberwolves 10-8 in the first game of an IEL doubleheader.

Marshall Tomlinson and Kyler Cooley had three RBIs each for Post Falls in the first game. 

“We had several times where we came up and hit the ball really well,” Post Falls coach Kurt Reese said of the opener. “Our entire lineup was producing really well and got some good, timely hits. It was really a top-to-bottom effort.” 

In the nightcap, Lake City (7-3, 6-2 IEL) took advantage of five Post Falls (6-9, 3-6) errors in the final two innings, scoring 12 unanswered runs to battle back for the split. 

Jack Pierce and Kyle Johnson both homered and had three RBIs each for Lake City in the second game. Owen Mangini also homered in the second game for Lake City. 

“We were playing well into the sixth, and the wheels fell off and it wasn’t fun to be a part of,” Reese said. “We’d have an error, and they’d capitalize. We played pretty bad defensively, and we’ve got to get better.”
