KENNEWICK, Wash. - A three-run inning proved to be the downfall for the Lewis-Clark Cubs in a Duster Bowl loss to Snohomish FTC.
Despite the loss, Lewis-Clark coach Ramon Royce said he feels as though his team is one piece away from putting together a solid run through the tournament.
"We've got a shot to win this," Royce said. "We're right there on the cusp of firing on all cylinders and putting it all together."
After falling behind, the Cubs offense rallied behind hits from Dawson Bonfield and Garrett Beckman.
"Bonfield has been out hurt with a bruised thumb, but he got some action today at first base and had a solid knock to score our first run," Royce said. "Beckman hit a ball in the third inning that bounced off the wall. I thought it was going to be a home run."
Beckman also took the bump in a relief appearance during the first inning, finishing the game for the Cubs with just over six innings of work.
"If there was one word to describe it - dazzling," Royce said. "He came in on short notice and he competed hard."
Lewis-Clark continues tournament play today at noon with a seeding game against Lakeside Recovery of Bellevue, Wash.
