Idaho state tournaments

The Coeur d’Alene Vikings found a unique way to fall into the losers bracket at the State A-1 softball tournament in Idaho Falls on Friday.

Eagle scored the only run of the game in the bottom of the seventh inning on a passed ball on what should have been an inning-ending strikeout.

Blake Hoorelbeke fanned Sara Hunn, but the ball got by catcher Stephanie Ferro, allowing Regina Scribner to score for a 1-0 victory.

The Vikings (25-4), knocked Highland out of the winners bracket, with a 6-0 victory in their first game of the day.
