Kittitas over DW, 14-4, 12-5

KITTITAS – DW traveled to Kittitas on Saturday and had two tough losses, dropping their double-header, 14-4 and 12-5.

In game one, DW led 2-1 after one inning, but Kittitas came back and built their lead, scoring at least two runs in each of the next five innings. The game was called after six on the ten-run rule.

For the game, DW had nine hits, including two each by Megan Robins and Sadie Seney. Pitcher Robins gave up 18 hits.

“On a very windy day DW struggled with that wind tracking balls, and both teams fought errors due to the wind,” said Larsen.

In Game two, Kittitas built a 10-4 lead after three innings, and DW couldn’t make up the difference. The game went the full seven innings.

DW had a total of 11 hits, including three by Robins and two each by Castorena, Sandau and Heidi Dobbs.

Seney pitched a complete game, giving up eight hits.

“DW fell victim to some untimely walks and errors, which lead Kittitas to 12 runs on eight hits,” said Larsen.

DW was to travel to Liberty Christian on Tuesday and will host White Swan in Waitsburg on Saturday.
