SANDPOINT — After starting the season 3-6, the Sandpoint junior varsity baseball team, which had 11 freshmen this year, recently won 12 straight games to close out a terrific 2024 campaign.
The Bulldogs beat Moscow (9-4, 8-7, 9-3, and 4-1) and Lakeland (12-2, 6-1, 22-6, 13-5) four times each, Lewiston (13-5, 10-8) and Timberlake (11-2 and 17-3) two times each, to finish things out. Their average margin of victory during that span … 7.3 runs per game.
“This was just a fantastic group of kids that completely bought in and had tons and tons of grit,” head coach Brent Eacret said. “Our pitchers were really consistent this year, and when you look at the box scores, we won by just hitting from the top to the bottom of the order. Some of those games were pretty incredible — we weren’t just drawing walks and all — they were really crushing the ball.”
