TRAVEL BASEBALL: Sandpoint Sasquatch 16U wins CDA’s Memorial Day Invite
COEUR d’ALENE — The Sandpoint Sasquatch 16U travel baseball team recently won the Memorial Day Invite held May 25-26 at Thorco Field in Coeur d’Alene.
On the first day of the tournament, the Sasquatch started things off with a 16-1 win over the CDA Lumbermen 16U. Sandpoint then fell 11-1 to a tough 16U Gonzaga Prep squad to close out the first day of action.
On the second day, the team rallied to pick up a 14-1 victory over the Northern Lakes Mountaineers 16U, and after tying 5-5 against the Kalispell Lakers Red 16U, went on to win the championship 11-10 in a rematch against the Lumbermen.
“It’s early in the season and the team played well with strong starting pitching and relievers along with an offense that was disciplined at the plate from the first pitch through the end of the tournament,” head coach Tyler Lehman said. “The boys earned the championship.”
The Sandpoint Sasquatch 16U will be back in action June 20-23 at the Flathead Lake 'B' Invitational in Kalispell.
