LEGION BASEBALL: 19U Lakers start off season with sweep of Moscow
MAX OSWALD | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 1 year, 6 months AGO
I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | May 25, 2024 4:30 PM
SANDPOINT — Jorden Tyler went 4-for-4 with seven RBIs in the first game and the 19U North Idaho Lakers went on to defeat the Blue Devils 24-1 and 14-3 at War Memorial Field on Saturday.
In the first game, the Lakers used a 9-run third inning and an 11-run fourth to seal the deal. In addition to Tyler’s big game, Mason Little went 4-for-5 with a triple and three RBIs, Soren Caprio was 3-for-5 with a triple and three RBIs, and Gavin Day and Sage Medeiros both went 3-for-3 at the plate with three singles each. On the mound, Dallen Williams captured the win, striking out eight batters and giving up just one hit over three innings of work.
In the second game, it was much of the same for the Lakers, who started out the game by scoring 14 runs in the first inning. Little led the way with two more singles for a total of six hits on the day. Williams had a bases-clearing triple, Finn Mellander an RBI double, for North Idaho. Medeiros was credited with the win after a solid outing on the mound, striking out five and allowing just one hit, three walks, and one earned run across three innings.
North Idaho (2-0) will travel to Coeur d’Alene to face the Lumbermen on Wednesday.
