The Badger baseball team beat the Kellogg
Wildcats 19-6 in Intermountain League play on a
sun-soaked Tuesday afternoon yesterday. The win
improves their overall record to 13-2 and 3-0 in
league.
KELLOGG 19, BONNERS FERRY 6 (5 innings)
Sophomore pitcher Brady Bateman pitched a
complete game striking out seven and walking
only two batters in the shortened five inning
contest. The win improves his overall record to
2-1.
The Badgers started the scoring off in the
bottom of the first inning after Bateman walked
and Vince Bennett singled. Both runners advanced
on a wild pitch and later scored on back to back
sacrifice flies from Jesse Dunham and Caleb
Gering. The Wildcats added a run in the top of
the second after a leadoff double from Brandon
Stott who later scored on a sacrifice fly.
The Wildcats took a brief lead in the top of the
third after scoring two runs on lead off walks,
but the Badgers erupted for 14 runs in their
half of the third inning coming on seven hits,
five walks and five errors. The Badgers added
three more runs in the bottom of the fourth when
Gering led off with a double to left and a
single from Nick Sabin. After three straight
walks, Bateman hit an RBI single to left to
score his brother Seth Bateman.
Kellogg added three runs in the top of the fifth
inning to make the final score 19-6.
The Badgers play an important doubleheader this
Saturday against rival Timberlake to determine
first place. It is also senior day as we
recognize Caleb Gering, Caleb Blackmore and
Vince Bennett. First game starts at 11:00 a.m.
