SPIRIT LAKE – The Bonners Ferry Badgers dropped two straight against the Timberlake Tigers to close out the season with a .500 record of 11-11, a strong year despite competing with a roster of mostly freshmen and sophomores.
The Timberlake Tigers (15-3) has also been competing well with a young roster. The two key performers in the team’s shutout 6-0 victory on May 5 in the 4A District 1 championship game were both freshmen.
Tigers pitcher Shae Jones struck out 11 in a four-hit shutout. Tigers freshman Alannah Winland went 2 for 3 with three RBIs as the top-seeded Tigers beat the second-seeded Badgers.
Since Timberlake swept Bonners Ferry in their three Intermountain League games, the Tigers needed only to win Monday’s first game of a best-of-3 series for the district title to advance to state.
Timberlake advances to state May 15-17 at Skyview High in Nampa.
