Fastpitch suffers tough loss in home opener
After having to cancel another game due to weather, the one against Riverside originally scheduled for this past Tuesday, Lakeside's varsity fastpitch team finally got to play ball, but were out run by Rathdrum, Idaho's Lakeland Lady Hawks this afternoon in a home opener, 7-10.
The Hawks took a large early lead, scoring 9 runs in the first three innings with hot bats. But then Lakeside's pitching corp stiffened up and began shutting Lakeland down, giving the Lady Eagles a chance to chip away at the lead and get back in the game, staving off a loss by run-rule.
The Eagles entered the bottom frame of the 7th and last inning down 4-10, but kept up the offensive pressure, scoring 3 more runs and putting runners in scoring position before succumbing to a solid defense and taking the tough loss 7-10 to go 0-1 on the young 2009 season.
The varsity squad leaves tomorrow right after breakfast for Bothel, Washington to take on Cedar Park Christian in a 6:30pm night game, and then plays 3A Bainbridge on Saturday afternoon.
Have a great trip, Lady Eagles!
