Timberwolves softball dominate

TEKOA - The Tekoa-Rosalia Timberwolves entered the week as the fifth-best softball team for the 1B division. After dominating two games against Wellpinit, that ranking holds true.

The first game saw Tekoa-Rosalia emerge victorious 11-4, with the second game ending 24-0, in favor of the Timberwolves.

Both games were played on Tuesday, April 9, in Colfax.

The games were moved to Colfax due to the weather affecting the field in Tekoa.

The first game saw the Timberwolves score two runs in the first inning. Clare Wilkins started the game with a single, before scoring the first run of the game off three-straight walks.

During the second inning, the Timberwolves scored two runs again, with Wilkins earning another single and run scored.

Five runs were scored in the third inning to boost the Timberwolves score. Keeley Whan would hit a triple in the inning, and McKinley Chase would have an inside-the-park home run.

The second game played was dominated from the Timberwolves offense from start-to-finish.

After scoring one run in the first inning, Tekoa-Rosalia scored seven in the second inning, seven in the third inning, and nine in the fourth inning before the game was called after the fifth inning. Tekoa-Rosalia would win 24-0.

Wilkins reached base all four times at the plate, scoring four runs in the process.

The Timberwolves had 10 total hits, including another inside-the-park home run, this time from Ashoan Butcher.

The Timberwolves were walked 14 times in the game, crucial to their success on the base paths.

The next game for the Timberwolves will be Friday, April 12, against the Colton Wildcats in Tekoa. First pitch will be at 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.
