Hawks Shut Out Badgers in Non-League Baseball Matchup

Lakeland Hawks Soar Past Bonners Ferry Badgers in Baseball Showdown

In a dominating performance, the Lakeland Hawks shut out the Bonners Ferry Badgers with a final score of 10-0 in a non-league baseball game at Gorton Field on April 15. Senior pitcher Garrett Farrell led the charge for the Hawks, striking out six batters and allowing only three hits over four innings. Jace Taylor also contributed to the win by striking out two batters in a hitless fifth inning.

The Badgers, who now hold a 5-14 record, struggled to get their offense going against the Hawks’ strong pitching. Jesse Fess managed to get two hits for Bonners Ferry, but they were unable to capitalize on any scoring opportunities.

Lakeland’s head coach, Al Bevacqua, praised Farrell and Taylor for their stellar performances on the mound. Bevacqua emphasized the importance of working ahead in the count and throwing first-pitch strikes, which both pitchers executed effectively.

Offensively, Roan Reilly drove in three runs for the Hawks, while Taylor went 2 for 3 at the plate and scored twice. The game was called in the fifth inning due to the 10-run rule, with Lakeland securing the victory.

With the win, Lakeland improved to a 6-6 record and will look to carry their momentum into an upcoming doubleheader against Post Falls. On the other hand, Bonners Ferry will aim to bounce back as they face off against Coeur d’Alene in their next game on April 22.

Overall, the Lakeland Hawks showcased their dominance on both sides of the ball, making a statement with their convincing win over the Bonners Ferry Badgers.
