Lady Kodiaks softball clobbers Omak 23-0

Cascade boys soccer, tennis successful in league play

Posted

Two qualities Cascade fans can associate with the Lady Kodiaks softball team this season are their resiliency and ability to bounce back ferociously after a loss.

On April 9, Cascade crushed Omak, 23-0 in five innings, to earn their fourth Caribou Trail League win of their 2019 campaign. The impressive shutout comes four days after the Lady Kodiaks split a doubleheader against Mount Baker, winning 3-2 in game one and falling 13-8 in the nightcap.

Truh Merriman collected three of Cascade's 11 hits. She had a double, triple and a dinger, bringing home six batters, while adding four runs herself. Kaija Lovelady was 3-for-4 with four RBIs while Madeline Schiefelbein had one hit with five RBIs.

Sarah Paulson, Renee Lambert and Merriman shined from the mound, throwing a combined three-hitter while striking out 12 Lady Pioneer batters between the three of them.

"It was a great game where the team really came out playing loose, but focused," Head Coach Todd Gilbert said. "Obviously pitching had a very strong performance today, but the defense also played well. We made plays and people were where they were supposed to be when the ball was put in play. It is always a good thing when you go on the road and play well."

The Lady Kodiaks are on the road once more on April 13 when they travel to Cashmere to play the Lady Bulldogs in a CTL doubleheader.

Gilbert acknowledged the doubleheader will be a key series for Cascade as they are going up against a "much improved" Cashmere team.
