Wilkins pitched for the T-wolves and had one of their three hits. Paige Brown and Naomi Meredith had the other raps for TR.

Saturday Colfax rapped Asotin 11-2 in the first game and escaped with a 3-2 win in the second game for a sweep.

The Bulldogs opened with seven runs in the first inning to start the big win in the first game. Jorja Koerner, who pitched both games for Colfax, allowed four hits in the opener, struck out seven and walked just one Asotin batter.

Colfax rapped nine hits in the first game with Hahn tagging a double and a single and Jones, Imler and Antoine each adding a double.

Asotin pegged a 1-0 lead at the start of the second game, but Colfax took the lead with two runs in the top of the fifth inning. Asotin tied it at 2-2 with a score in the bottom of the fifth, but Colfax scored the winning run in the top of the sixth.
