The Badger Baseball team claimed its sixth
District Championship, second in three years, as
senior Will Parr threw a no hitter against the
Timberlake Tigers in a 5 – 0 victory.
After the Championship game was cancelled on
Wednesday due to poor field conditions, the
Badgers and Tigers went head to head last
Thursday for the fourth consecutive year in
determining who would represent District I in
the State Tournament. Parr, who slightly
struggled in the first inning throwing 19
pitches after hitting the first batter, settled
in and threw a total of 85 in the game while
striking out seven and walking two.
The Badgers started the scoring when Mason Eby
reached on a walk, Seamus Skeen reached on an
error from the shortstop, and Parr, helping
himself, ripped a 2 run single to right scoring
both base runners to put Bonners Ferry up for
good.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Brady Bateman
started the inning off lining a double into the
left centerfield gap. After a Seth Bateman walk,
Shayne Walker laid down a beautiful sacrifice
bunt to advance the runners to second and third.
Chris Sabin was intentionally walked to load the
bases and Jared Fess followed with a clutch
two-run double down the third base line to score
the Bateman brothers. Eby was then hit by a
pitch to again load the bases. Ty Bateman hit
into a fielder’s choice, but Sabin scored on an
error by the catcher when he dropped the throw
form third for the force out, increasing the
Badger lead to 5 – 0.
The Badgers finished off the Tigers in the last
two innings to claim the Intermountain League
District title and advance to the 3A State
Baseball Tournament May 17 – 19 in Ontario, Or.
The games will be played at Treasure Valley
Community College and Bonners Ferry will face
the Payette Pirates on Thursday at 12:00 pm PST.
Bonners Ferry and Payette faced each other in
the semifinals last year as the Badgers
prevailed in a tight one 5 – 3.
The state tournament games will be video
