BFHS softball tops Sandpoint, remains unbeaten
BONNERS FERRY — Another slow start for Sandpoint, coupled with a strong performance by Bonners Ferry pitcher Kadi Bateman, led the Badgers to an 11-4 win over the Bulldogs in nonleague softball Thursday, March 29, in Bonners Ferry.
The Bulldogs (1-5) were once again plagued by a slow start, as the Badgers (4-0) plated six first inning runs, which would be more than enough for Bateman, who struck out 10 in a complete game four hitter.
