from Caleb Gering. The Badgers added 3 more runs

to left. Colville got on the board in their
bottom of the 3rd scoring a run off two hits to
make the score 4-1.
Bonners Ferry added 3 more in the top of the 4th
when Seth Bateman led off the inning with a
single and his brother Brady reached on an error
from the centerfielder. Both scored on a two-run
triple from Dunham. Gering then singled to score
Dunham to make the score 7-1. The Indians
responded with five runs in the bottom of the
4th inning on four hits to narrow the lead to
7-6. The Badgers got three more runs in the top
of the 5th inning when Kevin Gray and Brady
Bateman walked and later scored when Bennett hit
a two-run triple to deep right. Bennett then
scored on Dunham’s second triple of the game,
