Lakeland team downs Sandpoint

RATHDRUM — Brady Schweikert retired nine batters, walked two and scattered four hits to lead the Lakeland Hawks (2-9) past the Sandpoint Bulldogs (6-11).

“He kept the batters guessing all night long,” said Lakeland coach Jason Bradbury, whose team scored seven runs in the third inning to break the game open.

Sophomore Nick Halpin had two of Sandpoint’s four hits, as the Bulldogs fell to Lakeland for the first time in four games this season.

The Bulldogs play at Lake City on Thursday.
