By Coach Tom Turpin

The Badger baseball team traveled to Coeur d’Alene last Tuesday and split a double header with the Lake City JV squad.

The first game was won by Lake City 12-1 in five innings, and the Badgers came back for the split win in the second game 11-3, also in five innings.

In the first game, Vince Bennett pitched three innings, giving up seven runs on five hits while striking out seven and walking three batters.

The Badgers only got two hits in the game, freshman Caleb Blackmore and sophomore Matt Gray.

In the second game, the Badgers struck early for five runs in the top of the first inning with leadoff hitter Garrett Skeen hitting a double over the left centerfielder.

Vince Bennett scored Skeen on a fielder’s choice and Mat Kramer single scored Connor Bennett and Mike Clarkson after they reached on walks. Blackmore scored Kramer on a fielder’s choice and later scored on a RBI single from Jesse Woods.

The Badgers added five more runs in the third inning when Blackmore led off with a single to right center.

He later scored on a RBI single from Skeen. Vince Bennett and Matt Sabin both hit RBI singles in the inning. Garrett Skeen went three for four, Connor Bennett and Woods each got two hits in the game.

The split puts their record to 3 – 4 in the season.
