The American Legion AA Medical Lake Post 196 crew took on the Rogers Pirates on Friday, July 12, at home, getting a win and a loss in doubleheader action.
Jacob Edison started on the mound in game one, earning the 13-8 win, and going 2 for 2 at the bag with a triple and two RBIs.
Cameron Comer was 2 for 3, and Denton Deal was 1 for 2 with two RBIs.
Game two was a different story in a close game for Post 196, losing the bottom of the seventh inning 8-7.
“It was a back and forth battle where whomever had the last at-bat was going to win,” head coach Jefferson French said via text.
Joe Oliver went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs, while Landon Hall was 2 for 2 with one RBI and Isaak Everett as 1 for 1 at the plate.
The Medical Lake Post 196 crew’s season ended on Tuesday after press time in a make-up doubleheader in Kettle Falls.
“We finished in the middle of the pack this year, but had tremendous improvement from last year,” French said. “We need to iron out some basic fundamentals and improve our situational awareness, but our game intensity and competitiveness kept us in it.”
Post 196 is 7-11 in league play going into Tuesday’s final game in Kettle Falls, and 8-14 overall.
