The Lewis-Clark Twins wrapped up their Harris Field slate in strong fashion, sweeping Walla Walla in an American Legion baseball doubleheader Monday evening.
The scores were 7-1 and 10-6 in the Twins' final action of the regular season
L-C, which heads into the postseason with a 30-9 record, kept the Bears in check other than the fifth inning of the second game, when the visitors parlayed four walks into a five-run spree.
"We talk about winning every innings, and we were able to win 13 out of the 14 today," Twins coach Kevin Maurer said.
A trio of L-C pitchers limited Walla Walla to three hits and two walks in the first game. The Twins also overcame three errors while holding the Bears to a single run.
In the second game, L-C scooted to a 6-0 lead after two innings, and kept the lead despite Walla Walla's five-run fifth.
AJ Davis smacked three hits, stole three bases and drove in four runs in the second game. On the day, Riley Way reached base in seven of his eight plate appearances; the only time he was retired was on a sacrifice bunt.
The Twins lost just three times at Harris Field this summer.
"For some of them (the players), it'll be a highlight to have played under the lights at Harris Field," Maurer said. "That's a big deal for kids around here."
The Twins, the top seed in the Class AA northern Idaho district tournament, will open play at 5 p.m. Thursday at Post Falls. They will face the winner of the earlier game between Coeur d'Alene and Prairie of Post Falls.
