Vikings girls win two; Colton, Touchet split

Garfield/Palouse girls took a pair of wins at Touchet and Colton girls booked a split at Touchet Saturday when SE teams booked between the rains.

Touchet in the first game cooked 10 runs in the first inning on the way to a 13-10 win of the defending champions in the first game. The Wildcats battled back and stacked four runs in the last inning but couldn’t close the gap. Colton actually out-hit Touchet 10-9 in taking the loss. Haley Moser and Erin Weber rapped homers in the opener and Jenna Moser had a triple.

Taylor Nilson held the Indians to just three hits in the second game on the way to a 20-2 win. The Wildcats totaled 13 hits with Weber tagging two more homers in the second game. She totaled five hits for the day. Kaitlin Druffel also had three hits with a pair of doubles.

Garfield/Palouse dropped the Pirates 22- 3 and 39-8 in the other SE outing with Chandler Pfaff pitching.

A big part of the big numbers stemmed from 16 walks allowed by Pomeroy slingers in the first game and 26 in the second game.

Viking hurler Chandler Pfaff allowed just three hits to the Pirates in each game. She fanned eight Touchet batters in the first game and six in the second game.

Pfaff had three hits in the first game with a double and Terrie Taylor had two hits with a triple.

In the second game Taylor had two of the seven GP hits with a double.
