The Bonner's Ferry High School girls softball
team traveled to Newport, Washington, for the
first time in as long as anyone can remember on
Thursday afternoon. With both teams fielding
foreign exchange students and new players, it
was sure to be a close match.
Senior Lindsay Taggart started the game for the
Badgers on the mound while freshman Gabby
Blackmore manned the plate. Newport's sister-duo
stood out at third base and catcher, while their
heavy hitting batters went to work. The
Grizzlies jumped ahead 8-0 in the first three
innings, but the Badgers battled back, scoring
four runs in the third inning.
Stepping in to pitch, Junior Makenzie Carle
finished the game strong, not allowing any more
runs to score.
Bonners Ferry fought hard, getting the bases
loaded in the sixth and seventh innings, but
could only manage to get one more run across the
plate, ending the game with a score of 5-8.
In the course of the game, while playing
centerfield, Mariah Rae took a hard hit ball to
the nose that ended up shattering the bridge of
her nose in five pieces, and she still showed up
at practice the following day.
She even joked that her choices of makeup for
prom might be trendsetting! We are so proud to
have her on our team.
Saturday, April 20, will be a home doubleheader
against Kellogg starting at 11 a.m., and we will
be honoring our seniors and foreign exchange
students.
Softball will be honoring their players at the
beginning of the first game at 11 a.m. and
baseball will honor theirs in between their
double header. |
