Sandpoint 6, Methow Valley 4

DEER PARK, Wash. — Brady Yarbrough struck out nine batters across three no-hit innings on the mound as the Sasquatch used a four-run sixth inning to secure a walk-off win over the Cubs to start off Settler's Day Wood Bat Tournament pool play Friday, July 25, at the Deer Park Sports Complex.

Yarbrough's pitching helped Sandpoint get out to an early lead. In the bottom of the first inning, Waylon Scott was able to reach base on an error after a line drive shot down the third base line — a shot in which the Sasquatch were able to capitalize on with the first two runs of the game.

Methow Valley responded, scoring at least one run in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but the Sasquatch remained determined. In the final frame, Deegan Pierson, who had two hits in the contest, knocked an RBI single to bring the score to 4-3, Cubs in front. Cruz Coscarelli, after a McKinley Icardo single, hit an RBI single of his own to tie the game at 4. Later in the inning, Scott was able to reach base again on an error, scoring Icardo and Coscarelli to walk-off the game.

DEER PARK, Wash. — Brady Yarbrough struck out seven batters across three innings on the bump and put together a two-hit effort as the Sasquatch fell to the Cardinals in the Settler's Day Wood Bat Tournament championship game Sunday at the Deer Park Sports Complex.

They played with grit, kept their attitudes up when things got tough, and best of all — were great teammates to each other and showed great sportsmanship to their opponents."
