SPIRIT LAKE — Maddy Salois scored on a passed ball with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Timberlake Tigers edged the visiting Lakeland Hawks 9-8 in a nonleague softball game Thursday.

Salois also delivered a two-run triple as part of a four-run fifth inning that put Timberlake (15-1) up 7-3.

Lakeland (7-15) answered with five runs in the top of the sixth, capped by Harley See’s RBI single.

Lily Carhart and Bernie Carhart each went 3 for 4 for Timberlake, and Becca Malloy had two hits and drove in two runs.

“We hit the ball well; we did not hit her (Lakeland pitcher Taylor Woolley) as well the first time we played them,” Timberlake coach Casi Lupinacci said.

Kyleigh Dyer had two hits and drove in two runs for Lakeland, and Kathryn Wardak hit a two-run homer in the second inning.

Malloy struck out seven for Timberlake, and Woolley fanned eight for Lakeland.

“They are definitely a good team to play going into state,” Lupinacci said, “because we’re going to see pitching similar to that.”

Lakeland returns to action Tuesday as the 4A Region 1 tournament begins in Rathdrum. No. 2 seed Sandpoint faces No. 3 Moscow at 3 p.m., with the winner playing top seed Lakeland at 5.

Timberlake plays host to Bonners Ferry on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the first round of the 3A District 1 tournament in Spirit Lake. No. 2 seed Priest River takes on No. 3 Kellogg at 4.

POST FALLS — Gonzaga signee Jacob Rutherford went 2 for 3 with a three-run double in the second inning on senior day, and also struck out two in pitching the final inning of relief in the Trojans’ nonleague victory over the Bulldogs.

Jacob Burton went 2 for 3 and drove in two runs for Post Falls (6-13). Cole Rutherford went 2 for 3 and scored three runs for the Trojans, and senior Cabe Misita went 2 for 4 with two doubles and two runs scored. Senior Austin Higgins made a nice catch in right field to save two runs.

“It was nice to see all those seniors contribute and don’t always get to start, or play a lot,” Post Falls coach Mick Zeller said.

Max Thielbahr and Connor Dodd each had two hits for Sandpoint (7-14).

Post Falls, the No. 4 seed, travels to 5A Inland Empire League champion Coeur d’Alene on Monday at 4 p.m. in the first round of the 5A Region 1 tournament.

“We had Coeur d’Alene on the ropes all four games, leading in three of them late,” Zeller said. “I reminded my players, the last two years the 4 seed (Lewiston last season, and Coeur d’Alene in 2017) went to state. I’m excited; we played as well against Coeur d’Alene as we have against anybody.”
