Tigers top Kubs in softball action
Apr. 22—KAMIAH — Emily Proctor extended visiting Kendrick's lead to 10 runs with an inside-the-park home run to right field in the fourth inning, highlighting the Tigers' runaway 13-4 softball win Wednesday against nonleague foe Kamiah/Clearwater Valley.
Kendrick prevailed after four innings, as the game ended because of a hour-and-a-half time limit.
Hannah Tweit added a triple and Morgan Silflow tacked on a three-run double for the Tigers (10-2). Taylor Boyer, Natalie Kimbley and Erin Morgan totaled two RBI apiece.
Morgan, starting in the circle, went 3 2/3 innings, fanning five against one hit and four walks.
"We didn't hit overly well. Their pitcher threw pretty well, but we got hits in key situations and ran the bases well," Kendrick coach Morgan LeBlanc said. "Erin came in and threw really well. Can't say enough about her. She threw strikes and we played good defense behind her."
Krams pitcher Jessica Ketola struck out nine.
The Tigers will play a doubleheader at 4 p.m. at Potlatch today.
