Colfax crawdads get first win

Colfax Crawdads bagged their first win in the Spokane senior Babe Ruth fall baseball league with a 8-5 decision in the first game Saturday at McDonald Park. Patrick Jacobs pitched the win over the Spokane Red Sox who arrived at McDonald Park undefeated. Hunter Weitz, Brent Becker and Garrett Burke booked the key hits.

The Crawdads finished with a 5-6 loss in the second game after a last inning rally loaded the bases but fell short when wind blew a blastoff hit by Jared Paul of Moscow into foul territory.

The Crawdads will host one more twin bill next Saturday at 11 a.m. against the Spokane Underdogs. They are now 10th in the league with a 1-5 record with four games left. Top eight teams will be in a playoff.
