Game 1 – Spokane 20, Wenatchee Valley 0 (5 innings)
Spokane wasted no time taking control, scoring two runs in the first before adding three more in the second. The Sasquatch broke the game wide open in the third inning with seven runs, then followed with an eight-run fourth to put the run-rule firmly in place.
The offense was relentless throughout, tallying 19 hits and consistently applying pressure with aggressive baserunning and timely hitting. Spokane capitalized on defensive miscues as well, with several unearned runs contributing to the big innings.
In the circle, Samantha Rensvold delivered a dominant performance, tossing a complete-game shutout. She allowed just three hits and kept Wenatchee Valley off balance all game long.

Spokane carried that momentum into game two, striking early with two runs in the first inning. The Sasquatch added four more in the third to build a comfortable lead, taking advantage of key hits and defensive errors.
