BEAR LAKE 14, AMERICAN FALLS 0 (5)

At American Falls, Bear Lake recorded its first win of the season with a resounding 14-0 road victory.

“It’s nice to get a win,” Bear Lake coach Craig Culver said. “We’ve had three one-run losses and two ties. I start six sophomores and two freshman — so we’re really young this year.”

On the mound, senior Owen Teuscher tossed a five-inning shutout, giving up only two hits while striking out a dozen.

“Owen threw really well today,” Culver said. “His velocity is pretty good, but he’s developing his off-speed stuff. He kept them guessing today.”

SODA SPRINGS 5, NORTH FREMONT 3

At Soda Springs, the Cardinals scored early and edged out a 3-5 win over North Fremont.

Jon Kator threw a complete game for Soda Springs, allowing a half-dozen hits and two earned runs while fannin seven.

“He battled throughout the game,” Soda Springs coach Joe Via said. “He had control of his fastball, but didn’t have control of his off-speed stuff. To see not have all his control and still power through was really good.”

At the plate, Camden Bowan led the way with two doubles. But while the Cardinals recorded 10 hits and four walks, they left eight men on base.

“We had a lot of guys left on base,” Via said. “We couldn’t capitalize with two outs. Though we had 10 hits, we didn’t make all of them count
