Andria Skeels gave up just one run while pitching 11 innings on the day, and the Kamiakin High School softball team topped Southridge, 5-2, and Shadle Park, 2-1, on Wednesday at Mt. Spokane to advance out of the MCC-GSL regional playoffs and into the glue crossover.
Kamiakin (17-6) will play the SeaKing District 2 No. 6 seed — loser of Thursday’s game between Garfield and Juanita — at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Southwest Athletic Complex in Seattle.
AyJay Mullholland led off the bottom of the first against Southridge with a single, then stole second and third, and later scored on a groundout by Lynsie Miracle to put the Braves up early. Lexi Brown smacked a two-run triple, Skeels gave up one hit over four scoreless innings and Mya Moore closed out the final three.
Skeels gave up just one hit over the first five innings against Shadle Park — six in total — and RBI squeeze bunts by Moore and Rachael George in the third and fourth innings, respectively, were enough run support to get the Braves through the loser-out, winner-to-crossover game.
