PREP BASEBALL: Moore lifts Lake City past Post Falls

COEUR d’ALENE — Senior Owen Moore had a two-run single to give the host Lake City Timberwolves a 7-5 lead in the fifth inning of a 12-9 win over the Post Falls Trojans in the first game of a scheduled Inland Empire League doubleheader on Tuesday. 

Jack Pierce and Owen Mangini had two RBIs each for Lake City, which scored eight runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 11-5 lead. 

Mike O’Connor had a two-run double in the sixth inning for Post Falls to cut the deficit to 11-8. 

“Offensively, we hit the ball really well,” Post Falls coach Kurt Reese said. “Defensively, we were plagued with some mistakes and walks and Lake City got some timely hits.” 

The second game was suspended with Post Falls leading Lake City 5-3 in the middle of the fifth inning. The game will be completed at a later date. 

“We made some adjustments and had some good at-bats in the second game,” Reese said. “We’re happy with where our offense is, but we’re coming into the home stretch and need to put it all together now.” 

Post Falls (6-10, 3-7 IEL) hosts Moscow for an IEL doubleheader on Thursday.
