BASEBALL
SANDPOINT — Sandpoint senior Finn Mellander notched a hit in both games as the Bulldogs fell to the visiting Bengals 5-1 and 13-4 at Pine Street Park on Saturday.

On the bump, Jesse Turner struck out six batters across six innings. Lewiston’s Carson Klob struck out 13 batters over seven innings of work for the Bengals.
In the second game, Sandpoint’s Parker Reichart and Drew Lehman both hit RBI singles in the second, Soren Caprio an RBI double in the third to take a 4-3 lead, but the Bengals scored 10 runs between the fourth, fifth, and seventh innings to come away with the victory.
