COEUR d'ALENE - The host Coeur d'Alene Lumbermen committed two of their three errors in the sixth inning as they fell to the Northwest Blaze of Gig Harbor, Wash., 9-4 in a McEuen Division pool play game in the Best of the Northwest wood-bat tournament at McEuen Field on Thursday night.

"We got into a little bit of trouble in the sixth inning, they got some runners on and scored some runs," Coeur d'Alene coach Lloyd Duman said. 'They were a good, fast team. It was an exciting game all the way until the sixth inning."

Kaleb DeHaas went 3 for 4 and Ransom Storm struck out five for Coeur d'Alene (18-10), which faces Wilkinson of Seattle today at 2:30 p.m. to close out pool play at McEuen Field. Coeur d'Alene is 1-2 in pool play.

"This was one of those games that are fun to be in," Duman said. "We're still in the learning stage and know what we need to fix."
