Sandpoint 11, Missoula 3

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — Sandpoint High rising sophomore John Holman picked up right where he left off, going for 3-for-4 with a triple as the Sasquatch used a six-run sixth inning to defeat the Impact in their first game of the Big Bend Summer Finale tournament Thursday at Big Bend Community College's Viking Field.

Before the rally, Sandpoint High rising junior Austyn Young erased a 2-0 deficit with a two-run double to straightaway center in the second inning. In the third, the Sasquatch added on two more, with Timberlake High rising junior Nathan Beardsall recording an RBI double and Sandpoint High rising sophomore Blake Bogadi an RBI single.

Leading 5-2 heading into the sixth, Post Falls rising eighth grader Cash Crateau hit an RBI single to start off the scoring while John Holman smashed an RBI single of his own to finish it. The Sasquatch scored on a fielder's choice and were hit by pitches with the bases loaded in three consecutive at-bats, which accounted for the other four runs scored during the inning.

On the mound, Bryce Lee, a southpaw who played for Riverside High in Chattaroy this past season, earned the win. The rising junior struck out six batters across five innings and threw 50 of his 76 pitches for strikes. In relief, Priest River High rising junior Broden Collins fanned three batters and allowed just one hit, shutting down Missoula's bats completely in the final frame.
