Cheney ends its season.

The first three innings were played in Cheney on Saturday with the Vikings opening a 6-2 lead before the game was suspended due to weather.

The Blackhawks scored both their runs in the third. Rachel Barsness singled and scored on Maddie Kallsen’s single. Meghan Krantz added a triple to score Kallsen.

Zerr, who added an RBI-single in the fourth for Selah after play resumed, also pitched a complete-game eight-hitter with eight strikeouts.
