SOFTBALL

Lakeland 15, Sandpoint 3 (5)

SANDPOINT — There's a reason she'll be playing softball at the college level next season.

Senior Arah Stevens smashed her fourth career home run since joining the team as a junior — a solo shot to left field to lead off the fourth frame — sophomore Raelyn Olsen chipped in a 2-for-2 effort with a pair of singles, and the Lady Bulldogs were run-ruled in the opener of a 5A Inland Empire League doubleheader held Thursday at War Memorial Field.

Stevens, who also singled, had two runs scored in addition to what was her second homer on the year for Sandpoint, which had seven hits in total. Sophomore Taylor Bannick continued her hitting streak with an RBI single in the second inning while fellow sophomore Avery Inge accounted for the Lady Bulldogs' final run in the fourth with an RBI single to center. Junior Teagan Newsom contributed a single and a run scored as well.

Raygen Dutton and Jaiden Corbey each had a double and a home run and were responsible for seven of 12 RBIs for Lakeland, which scored 12 of their 15 runs across the fourth and fifth innings.

Lakeland 9, Sandpoint 6 (8)

SANDPOINT — Sophomore Taylor Bannick extended her hitting streak to five games as she went 2-for-3 to go along with her first career RBI double and first career triple, sophomore Bailey Pierson smacked her first career RBI double on a line drive to center field that gave Sandpoint a 4-3 advantage in the fourth, and the Lady Bulldogs tested the Lady Hawks, but fell just shy in the nightcap of Thursday's 5A Inland Empire League doubleheader at War Memorial Field.

Sophomore Avery Inge registered her first career RBI triple to keep Sandpoint ahead 5-4 in the sixth. A couple of at-bats later, sophomore Bailey Wilson reached on an error that scored Inge as the Lady Bulldogs took a two-run advantage heading into the final inning before Lakeland scored two runs to tie things up and three runs in extra innings to seal the deal. In the circle, sophomore Marlee Stevens, who threw 84 of her 127 pitches for strikes and recently passed 100 career strikeouts, went the distance as she fanned seven batters on the day.

Ada Blakemore had two doubles, Delilah Zimmerman a double and a home run for Lakeland (10-3), which also got 2.2 perfect relief innings from Abby Helmholz en route to their eighth consecutive win and sweep of the four-game regular season series.
