Libby Loggers Legion baseball routs Sandpoint

Jul. 10—Noah Gillespie worked five high-traffic, low-impact innings and Boe Miles homered as Libby scored a bounce-back 11-5 win over Sasquatch 17U in Legion baseball action Tuesday. Gillespie worked around five walks and four hits allowed — and a bases-loaded situation in the first inning — while striking out three. He allowed three runs, two earned. But by the time Sasquatch scored in the fifth inning the Loggers led 8-0. That was thanks in part to seven walks issued by four Sasquatch pitchers. Libby, which lost 8-5 to the same team on Monday, scored four runs in the first inning, taking advantage of three walks and a hit by pitch. Bransen Holzer’s two-run single made it 6-0 in the second inning and Kale Riddle’s RBI single made it 7-0 in the third. Miles’ solo home run made it 9-3 in the fifth. Jordan Griffin added a double for Libby. Ian Thom threw a spotless seventh inning, fanning two.
