HIGH SCHOOLS: Swanson, Bantams take varied routes to sweep

MOSCOW - Riley Swanson struck out 12 hitters in the first game of Clarkston's doubleheader against Moscow, and the Bantams had 15 hits in the nightcap in a nonleague sweep of the Bears on Thursday in prep softball.

The scores were 4-2 and 19-4.

Swanson went the distance in the first game, and Emma Sandaine went all five innings in the following contest, which was shortened by the 10-run rule.

Bailie Copeland finished with six hits on the day to lead Clarkston (4-1), including a two-run homer.

"We played excellent today," Clarkston coach Shaun O'Kelley said. "Riley and Emma both pitched solid games, and we got a lot of hits by a lot of different players."

Kaitlyn Krasselt had three hits to lead Moscow.

PULLMAN - Pullman was plagued by errors in the first game, but bounced back to win in the nightcap of a Great Northern League twinbill against West Valley.

West Valley tallied 10 hits in the first game and took advantage of the Greyhounds' eight errors. The Eagles also had eight miscues in the contest, but they scored four runs in a crucial sixth inning.

In the nightcap, though, Jordan Levenseller paced the Greyhounds, going 3-for-3 while stealing two second bases. Jenna Kincaid and Kaycee Perisho were efficient on the mound, and the Greyhounds secured the triumph thanks to a four-run second inning.

"The weather was pretty tough on both teams," Pullman coach Tara Briggs said. "There were a lot of errors in the first game, but in the second game we hit the ball well and Jenna and Kaycee did a good job pitching."

Pullman is now 4-3 and 1-1 in GNL play.
