“From the start of yesterday to the fourth game today, those girls improved 100 percent; it was a great way to start the season,” St. Maries coach Lane Watkins said. “We started hitting the ball; it was awesome.”
Against the Lakeland JV, Addilyn Turner drove in four runs, three on a sixth inning homer as the Lumberjacks nearly erased a 7-0 deficit.
