The Bonners Ferry High School baseball team is
in the championship game at the 3-A State
Tournament.
In a high scoring game earlier today, the
Badgers defeated the Kimberly Bulldogs 19-12 to
advance to tomorrow’s championship game, where
they will play Homedale.
The Badgers started off big in today’s game
against Kimberly, putting nine runs on the
scoreboard in their first at-bat in the first
inning. Things were looking good when Kimberly
answered with only three runs in their half of
the inning.
Kimberly put up three more runs in the fifth
inning, to the Badgers two, then Kimberly had
their big inning in #5, when they notched five
runs to tie the score at 11.
Both teams went scoreless in the sixth, and the
final inning opened with the teams still tied at
11. That’s when Bonners Ferry had their next big
inning of the game, scoring eight runs. Kimberly
could only tally a single run, resulting in the
19-12 final score for the game.
Mason Eby was Bonners Ferry’s starting pitcher.
He gave up eleven runs; Chris Sabin took over
the mound part way into the fifth inning,
allowing one run over two innings. Shayne Walker
took over pitching duties at the end of the
seventh inning, getting the final out of the
game.
Bonners Ferry had a total of 19 hits in the
game, including a first inning home run by
Sabin. Seth Bateman had four hits. Three Badgers
racked up three RBIs in the game: Brady Bateman,
Chris Sabin, and Shayne Walker.
In tomorrow’s game for the state championship,
Bonners Ferry will play Homedale, who defeated
Marsh Valley 14-9 to earn their way into the
title game. The game will be played tomorrow at
3:00 p.m. Bonners Ferry time, and can be seen on
