Freeman (9-2, 6-0) continued its perfect league season this week with a pair of shutouts over Medical Lake and a win over Newport. Coach Chad Ripke’s squad features a strong pitching staff and the Scotties have outscored their Northeast A League opponents 83-3, with one of the runs against unearned.

Outside of league, the Scotties also own a win over 4A Ferris (Greater Spokane League) and 2A Cheney (Great Northern League).

Last Friday, the Scotties jumped out quickly – scoring five runs in the first and 10 in the second – to hand Medical Lake an 18-0 loss. Freeman pounded out 17 hits, while Desmond Parisotto and Simon Rooney combined on a one-hitter. J.T. Neely went 4 for 5 with two runs and an RBI, and Rooney added two hits and drove in three. Parisotto bumped his season record to 3-0.

Freeman followed that up on Saturday with a 13-0 shutout over Medical Lake (4-2, 4-2). Koby Kent and McKabe Cottrell (4-0) combined on a two-hitter – and Cottrell added a home run. Rooney tripled with an RBI and Neely added a double as the Scotties scored six in the fifth inning to invoke the 10-run rule.

Jace Phelan hit a three-run triple in the first inning and finished with five RBIs in a 13-1 win over Newport (3-2, 3-2) on Wednesday. Michael Coumant and Phelan limited the Grizzlies to two hits while Parisotto went 3 for 3 with a double.
