The Bonners Ferry Badgers beat the Priest River
Spartans 9 - 3 in the first game of the Bonners

to allow just one more hit for the Spartans. The
Badgers responded with two runs in their half of
the 2nd when brothers Chris Sabin and Nick Sabin
both reached base on a walk and later scored on
an error from the shortstop.
Bonners Ferry added four more runs in the 4th
inning after Jesse Dunham had a bunt single to
load the bases. Brady Bateman then hit a two run
single and Chris Sabin hit a two run double down
the left field line. The Badgers added three
runs in the 5th inning when Caleb Gering hit a
single and Dunham hit a double to left. Bateman
then hit another two run single to score Gering
and Dunham. Bateman scored on a balk by the
pitcher.
The Badgers were led by Dunham and Bateman with
two hits each in the game. Bateman had four RBI.
GAME 2 – Bonners Ferry – 2

The Badgers got 10 hits in the game but lost to

and one in the 2nd inning to take a 3 – 0 lead
going into the bottom of the 2nd.
The Badgers scored a run in the 2nd inning after
Vince Bennett singled and later scored on a
passed ball. Sandpoint responded in the 4th
inning scoring a run on a passed ball to make
the score 4 – 1. The Badgers added another run
to cut the margin to 4 – 2 in the bottom of the
5th when Jesse Dunham hit a single and later
