MOSCOW — In a loser-out 4A Inland Empire League district tournament game, the Bulldogs, led by a 3-for-4, three RBI effort from Dallen Williams, used a five-run fourth inning to take down the Hawks 8-5 at Moscow High on Monday. 

After two scoreless innings by both teams, Sandpoint struck first in the top of the third inning. Jorden Tyler and Drew Lehman hit back-to-back singles, and with two outs, Williams found the gap between first and second to single and put two runs on the board. In the fourth, Sandpoint stayed hot, getting an RBI single from Lehman and an RBI double from Mason Little to extend the lead to seven runs. Williams tacked on an insurance run in the sixth, singling to right field again. 

Sandpoint gave up some scattered runs over the next two innings but held on for the victory … keeping their season alive. On the mound, Jesse Turner picked up his third win of the year, striking out five batters while giving up four hits, three walks, and four earned runs over the course of six and two-thirds innings. Sage Medeiros and Tyler also notched two hits each in the contest.
