Loggers Put on Hitting Clinic in Blowout of Vikings

Posted

Senior Alex Cleveland-Barrera smashed a two-run homer over the right field fence and Onalaska cruised to a 15-0, non-league victory in three innings over visiting Mossyrock on Friday.

Cleveland-Barrer finished 3 for 3 at the plate with four RBIs as the Loggers tallied 12 hits on the day. Hannah James and Desi Smith each went 2 for 2 while Saylor Stone was 1 for 1 with a walk.

After plating two runs in the first inning, they exploded for nine runs in the second and four more in third to cap the run-rule victory.

Defensively, the Loggers were flawless with zero errors, while Lisa Liddell started on the mound, striking out six and allowing one hit. Dylan Zigler pitched the final inning, striking out three and allowing one hit.

“The girls played well,” Onalaska coach Rich Teitzel said. “We love the energy and want to keep moving forward.”

Mossyrock, meanwhile, struggled to put bat on ball, collecting just two hits on the day, singles from Hailey Brooks and another from Lois Stone.

Erin Cournyer started on the mound for the Vikings, giving up 11 runs across two innings, while Jolee Hadaller surrendered four runs in the final inning.

Mossyrock continues non-league play when it travels to Winlock for a noon game on Saturday.

Onalaska is off until Monday when it hosts Kalama in a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m.
