Badger Baseball team bounced back with a 10-0
shutout of Kellogg the following day to capture
the District second place. The Badgers still
have an opportunity to make it to the State
Baseball Tournament. As the second place team in
the District Tournament, they next will travel
to Grangeville for a play-in game against Weiser
on Saturday, May 9. The winner of that game
moves on to the State Tournament.

Kellogg earned their way into Thursday's
District game for second place after coming from
behind in a late-game rally against Priest River
on Monday.
They had no rally left in them for Tuesday's
game against Bonners Ferry. The Badgers picked
up a some runs in the early innings, but did the
big damage to Kellogg in inning number four.
With two outs, Kellogg simply could not get that
last out to end the inning, and Badger after
Badger crossed the plate. Kellogg finally
stopped the Badger onslaught when the score was
8-0.
Bonners Ferry picked up one more run in the
fifth inning, then ended the game early under
the mercy rule in the sixth inning, when Bonners
Ferry scored one more run to make the score
10-0.

the season is 10 wins against 14 losses. The
winner of the Bonners Ferry vs Weiser game will
move on to the Idaho State Baseball Tournament,
and will play District V champion Marsh Valley
at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 14.
