Sandpoint will challenge a team with plenty of momentum: Lewiston extended their winning streak to four on Thursday.

Lewiston got a massive performance out of Mayonna Miller, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most runs Miller has posted since back in April of 2024. Shelby Arellano was another key player, going 4-for-5 with three runs, three RBI, and one double.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Lewiston lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. They are 2-1 when they post two or more home runs.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sandpoint). They put the hurt on Bonners Ferry with a sharp 13-3 victory last Tuesday. The win continues a trend for the Bulldogs in their matchups with the Badgers: they've now won five in a row.
