SANDPOINT — Sandpoint High rising junior Brennan Shaw went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, three RBI, two walks, and three stolen bases as the Sasquatch bounced back with a shutout victory of their own in Friday's nightcap against the Wave at War Memorial Field.

Shaw started off a Sasquatch 3-run third inning with an RBI single and rising senior Mason Little finished it with an RBI double to deep right field. Sandpoint put up four more runs in the fourth frame as rising senior Hayden Miller, rising sophomore Benson Brown and Shaw strung together RBI singles while rising senior Parker Reichart contributed a sacrifice fly to cap off the rally.

On the bump, Reichart was efficient, throwing 48 of his 87 pitches for strikes across 4.2 scoreless innings to grab the win. Brown followed that up by ringing up four batters across 2.1 no-hit innings in relief.

Sandpoint High rising junior Carson Resso and rising senior Coleman Inge added doubles in what was an all-around team effort.

Owyhee 8, Sandpoint 6

SANDPOINT — Sandpoint High rising senior Sage Medeiros smashed a double and a triple as the Sasquatch's late rally fell just shy in Saturday's series finale against the Wave at War Memorial Field.

Sandpoint found themselves down 8-1 heading into the sixth frame, with the sole source of run production coming off the bat of a Carson Resso sacrifice fly. Resso then hit another sacrifice fly in the sixth, as did rising senior Hayden Miller, to put the Sasquatch within striking distance.

In the seventh, after a scoreless frame from Sandpoint High rising senior Soren Caprio in the bottom half of the sixth, rising senior Dallen Williams hit a sacrifice fly, Medeiros an RBI triple, and rising senior Parker Reichart, who was 3-for-4 at the plate, mashed an RBI single before the Wave were able to put together three outs.

Caprio, in his first appearance on the mound this summer, struck out two batters over 2.1 solid innings in relief.

The Sasquatch 17U are set to return to action this Friday through Sunday at the Centralia College Mini Showcase tournament, which will be held at the newly-turfed Fort Borst Park. The tournament is a wooden bat event and the Sasquatch are set to take on teams from Redmond, Wash., Lake Stevens, Wash., and Graham, Wash. for their first three games.
