L-C Cubs 12-8, Orofino 2-7
In a day full of walk-off wins, the Lewis-Clark Cubs decided to add their names to the list.
After trouncing Orofino, 12-2 in game one of the double-header at Harris Field, Lewis-Clark skipper Ramon Royce said his team was "kicking the ball around a little bit." Eventually, Orofino made it a game, but an error in the seventh eventually brought in the winning run and the Cubs held a 8-7 win and now-4-6 record over the Merchants.
"It's exciting to beat a good team like Orofino and come out with two W's," Royce said. "That's a big boost of confidence. We were playing well defensively and offensively, pitching well. We had all the facets of the game, and I think we did a good job putting it together."
Of everything, Royce says he may be most excited with the play of his pitchers. They combined to only allow two runs in the top two frames of game one - which was called off due to the mercy rule - and survived Orofino's five-spot fourth inning.
Mason Daniel racked up three hits, including two doubles in the night's final game, and the Cubs fought through eight errors to win by an edge.
The Cubs are now 4-6, and will next play at Harris Field Thursday.
