NAMPA — Sunday was a survive-and-advance day for the Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen at the Idaho American Legion class AA state tournament.

The Lums built a five-run lead, then had to hold on to beat the Twin Falls Cowboys 7-6 in a loser-out game at Rodeo Park.

“Down the stretch, we tried to give it away,” Coeur d’Alene coach Darren Taylor said.

Ryan Schneider went 4 for 4 for Coeur d’Alene (33-10), and his RBI single in the fourth hiked the Lums’ lead to 6-1.

In the first inning, Spencer Zeller tripled in a run, and scored on Marcus Manzardo’s sacrifice fly. Eric Bumbaugh’s two-run homer in the second made it 4-0.

“It was a blast; he touched it off,” Taylor said.

Twin Falls (25-17) scored three runs in the fifth to pull within 6-4, then Ethan Taylor of Coeur d’Alene delivered a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth.

In the top of the seventh, Nolan Hardesty’s two-run double pulled the Cowboys to within a run. After a hit batsman, Twin Falls had runners on first and second with two out. Then Cooper Erickson of the Lums got the next batter to bounce into a force play to Manzardo at shortstop to end the game.

Schneider struck out eight in 5.1 innings, walking four and allowing four hits and four runs, three earned. Erickson pitched the final 1.2 innings in relief.

“Schneider was really competitive, gritty, hung in there, threw 109 pitches in the sweltering heat,” Taylor said. “Cooper Erickson, without any bullpen work, came over from third base and shut down their rally.”

Coeur d’Alene will play the Pocatello Runnin’ Rebels (29-13) today at noon PDT. Pocatello beat the two-time defending American Legion World Series champion Idaho Falls Bandits 11-3 on Sunday, handing the Bandits their first loss of the double-elimination tourney. Pocatello is 3-0 in the tourney; the Lums are 2-1. Idaho Falls plays the Nampa Chiefs today at 9 a.m. in a loser-out game.

“I’m happy for the guys; we’re alive, and playing one more day,” Taylor said.
