COEUR d'ALENE - The Coeur d'Alene Lumbermen debuted their new home on Friday.
But the Lums are still looking for their first win - and their first runs - in their new ballpark at Ramsey Park, after losing 3-0 to the Spokane Northstars and 3-0 to the Walla Walla Bears on the first day of the Border Wars tournament.
In the first game on the new field, three Northstars pitchers teamed for the shutout of the Lums.
The Northstars managed just three hits, but two of them drove in the runs - Zach Day's two-run double in the third inning, and Evan Norden's run-scoring single in the seventh.
Carter Chaffin had three hits for Coeur d'Alene (2-5), which totaled eight hits.
No other information was available from the Lums' game with Walla Walla.
Coeur d'Alene plays the Northstars again tonight, at 6:30.
Northstars 002 000 0 - 3 3 0
