North Idaho baseball team with BF players wins
Idaho championship again, moves to regional play |
|
August 2, 2014 |
The Idaho Little League state champions, with
three members from Bonners Ferry, is once again
playing for a spot in the Little League World
Series. The North Idaho Little League team beat
out Boise in the state championship held in
Sandpoint on July 12th. This week the team,
which boasts three players from Bonners Ferry,
is playing in the regional tournament in
Vancouver, Washington.
Baseball fans will recall that last year the
Little League team from Bonners Ferry also won
the Idaho state championship, and moved on to
regional play, where they were stopped for the
first time in their quest to play in the Little
League World Series.
This year's regional tournament got off to a
rough start for the North Idaho team with a 13-1
loss to Hawaii. Since that game, Bonners Ferry
players Chris Sabin, Brady Bateman, Seth Bateman
along with the rest of the team comprised of
players from Sandpoint, have made North Idaho
proud by beating Oregon on Wednesday 11-7, and
Northern California on Friday 8-3, with Sabin
and Brady Bateman responsible for a significant
portion of the RBIs.
They next play Utah today at 6:00 p.m., and if
they win that game there is a good chance they
will be in the top four of the tournament, which
pushes them into a two game tournament on Monday
and Tuesday. The winner there moves on to
Michigan for the Junior division of the Little
League world series.
