Lady Eagles go to 5-0 league in doubleheader wins
After giving up 4 runs to none through the first two innings, Lakeside freshman pitcher Vanessa Ahrendt and the Eagles defense got tough and shut out Freeman batters the rest of the way, giving the offense a chance to come back and score 2 runs in the 3rd and 7 in the 6th to win the first contest 9-4. Ahrendt helped her own cause with 2 hits, joining Moriah Beeler with 3 and Heather Hesselgesser, Michelle Dezihan and Nicole Jurek each with 1.
Ahrendt, who went the distance in both games despite being on antibiotics for possible strep throat, gave up 8 runs on 10 hits in the second game, but led the Eagles offense with 4 hits as they scored 14 runs for the win on an incredible 16 hits. Moriah Beeler again had 3 hits, while Lauryn Bassen, Cami Alexander and Jurek had 2 each. They were joined by freshman catcher Savannah Rolston, sophomore Michaela Brittos and senior first team all-leaguer Hesselgesser, who hit the lone triple for the game. Ahrendt, Bassen and Alexander each had a double.
Lakeside now leads the league with the 5-0 record, followed by Freeman at 3-3, Chewelah at 2-3, Kettle Falls at 1-2 and Newport at 0-3. The Lady Eagles take on Kettle Falls, their perennial nemesis, at home next Tuesday, April 21st at 4:00pm. They then travel to Athol, Idaho for a non-league contest against Timberlake on Thursday, April 23rd.
Great job, Lady Eagles!
