Sat., May 13, 1995

Shadle Park pitcher Chris Wilson faced just 25 batters, four above the seven-inning minimum, and the Highlanders used an eight-run sixthinning to beat Rogers 10-0 on Friday.

The game was the first in the District 8 George Gee Pontiac Greater Spokane League Baseball Tournament at Seafirst Stadium.

In the second game, Gonzaga Prep beat Central Valley 3-0 as Bullpups pitcher Forrest Higgins held the Bears to two hits.

Shadle and G-Prep will play today at Seafirst at 11 a.m. The winner will play Ferris at 2 p.m., with that winner qualifying for regionals and a date with regular-season champion University Tuesday in a seeding battle.

Wilson and the Highlanders (12-6) led 2-0 when they pulled away from Rogers (8-9) with their big inning.

In the bottom of the sixth, Shadle’s Steve Schaber hit a two-run double, Christian Ross had an RBI single, Darin Talotti a two-run homer, Garrett Wideman an RBI double and Joe Walters an RBI triple.

For the Bullpups (10-7), Matt

Comfort had an RBI single and Austin McDonald had an RBI on a fielder’s choice for G-Prep’s first runs of the game.
