Lewiston 9, Sandpoint 8

Sandpoint 14, Lewiston 12

LEWISTON — Junior Hali Smotherman hit a go-ahead two-run triple in the top of seventh inning of game two and the visiting Lady Bulldogs beat the Lady Bengals for the first time since 2015, splitting a 5A Inland Empire League doubleheader Saturday at Airport Park.

Smotherman also had a double for Sandpoint, which scored nine runs in the final frame and shutout Lewiston in the bottom half of the inning to clinch the victory in the nightcap.

Junior Arah Stevens and senior Abi Miller had RBI singles during the 9-run rally and freshman Bailey Wilson supplied an RBI single earlier in the game to help the Lady Bulldogs' cause.

Freshman Marlee Stevens also recorded a multi-hit effort and secured the win on the mound, striking out six batters across seven innings of work.

It was a good win to get after Lewiston won the first game by just one run, using a 3-run final frame to walk things off. In the contest, senior Baylie Hindle, Marlee Stevens and freshman Avery Inge all had two hits apiece. Hindle plated two runs, Inge one between the third and fifth innings before the Lady Bengals made a comeback.

Wilson got the nod in game one and struck out six batters over six total innings.

"Bailey Wilson and Marlee Stevens really fought today and showed their maturity on the mound," Sandpoint High head coach Leah Platt said. "They also helped themselves out at the plate with some big hitting. There was fight and determination in all of the girls. They never gave up and really pulled together as a team."

Sandpoint (5-17, 3-13) is scheduled to host Post Falls for their regular season finale doubleheader Thursday.
