Cda, Lewiston Split Iel Doubleheader

The Coeur d’Alene Vikings split with the Lewiston Bengals, winning the opener 14-4 before falling 11-10 in nine innings in the second game of an Inland Empire League doubleheader Tuesday at Viking Field.

The Viks won by the 10-run rule, stopping the game in the fifth inning of the opener.

Kelli Babcock’s leadoff homer in the fourth inning ignited a 7-run effort. Moments later, Krissi Sampson hit a grand slam. Both homers cleared the 210-foot fence.

Lewiston put CdA in a hole early in the second game, scoring five runs in the first inning.

The Bengals turned around and rallied for five runs in the first inning of the nightcap. The Viks scored three in the third to pull ahead 7-6.

The Bengals (6-4 IEL, 11-7 overall) committed three errors in the bottom of the seventh to allow the Viks to tie at 9-9.

“That first game we hit well (14 hits),” said Larry Bieber, whose Viks stayed even with Lewiston at 6-4 (9-8 overall). “A slow start in the second game let them up by five and we had to fight back the whole game.”
