North Idaho 18, Northeast 8

SANDPOINT — Cy Marshall produced a perfect 4-for-4 effort, which included two doubles, three runs scored and a team-high five RBI as the Lakers scored in every inning against the 49ers of Chewelah to capture the opener of a Spokane American Legion "A" doubleheader Friday at War Memorial Field.

Trailing 7-2 heading into the bottom of the second inning, North Idaho tallied 16 of next 17 runs in the contest. Cody Gutierrez's RBI single in first frame started off the night's scoring, but it was the third where the Lakers really took control of the momentum.

Building off a two-run Erik Hansen triple to deep left field in the second, Mason Balch registered a single and Marshall mashed a two-run double to lift North Idaho to an 8-7 advantage in the third.

Marshall added a two-run single during a six-run fourth frame and another RBI single in the sixth to give the Lakers some more insurance.

On the rubber, Hansen, who also tallied a multi-hit effort for North Idaho, struck out nine batters over 5.2 quality frames to secure the win.
