Lady Eagles run-rule Newport twice, clinch NEA league title
The Lakeside fastpitch squad beat the Newport Grizzlies 15-4 in 6 innings in game 1 of last Friday's home doubleheader and then shut them out in game 2 10-0 in 5 innings to push their NEA league record to 9-0 and their overall record to 12-3.
Meanwhile, Freeman split their Friday doubleheader with Kettle Falls to drop their league record to 6-5 with one game to go, thereby assuring the clinch of first place for the Eagles. Kettle Falls fell to 4-4 with three games to go, while Chewelah stands at 4-5, also with three games to go. Newport remains winless in league at 0-9 with only a doubleheader at Chewelah remaining.
Junior Lauryn Bassen led the Lady Eagles offense in game 1 with her 2nd home run of 2009, to add to 2 hits each by FR catcher Savannah Rolston and SR Cami Alexander. Lakeside was aided by Newport's 8 errors. SR all-leaguer Heather Hesselgesser is out with a dislocated thumb injury but could return in time for post season play.
Bassen then hit her 3rd home run of the season in game 2, to add to the doubles by freshman battery-mates pitcher Vanessa Ahrendt and Rolston, and SR Moriah Beeler's 3 hits. Ahrendt's double was a 2 RBI walk-off to end the game in the bottom of the fifth. She was credited with both wins, taking her season and HS-career record to 12-2. She has now thrown 4 shut-outs.
Lakeside faces Freeman Tuesday, May 5th, then travels to Kettle Falls for a Friday, May 8th league season-ending doubleheader. The Lady Eagles' final game before the District Tournament on Saturday, May 16th is at 2A GNL-leading Colville on Tuesday, May 12th. The Indians are 10-0 in league and 14-1 overall.
Great job, Lady Eagles, 2009 NEA League Champs!
