REARDAN – Three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning was enough to dig the Indians out of a deep hole in their district playoff game against the Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos Tuesday, May 11. Reardan ended its season with a 15-6 loss at home and finished the truncated campaign 5-8.
LRS jumped on Reardan early, scoring four runs in the top of the first inning. The Indians held the Broncos scoreless for the following three innings, but three runs in the fifth, five runs in the sixth and three runs in the seventh gave LRS plenty of insurance.
Center fielder Lauren Miller came up big for LRS with five runs batted in through just two hits. Reardan only had two runs batted in as a team, as all three runs in the bottom of the sixth came off stolen bases or wild pitches.
