Richland advanced to another loser-out game against Lewis and Clark at 2 p.m. Saturday in Walla Walla. The winner of that will play the loser of Saturday’s championship game between Walla Walla and University.

Chiawana jumped out to a 5-1 lead after 2 1/2 innings. The Riverhawks took advantage of some gifts to score three runs in the second. In the third, Mailie Bishop doubled in a run and scored on Alexa Beutler’s single. But a double play prevented further damage, and the Bombers got to work from there.

Miranda Camacho hit an RBI double and scored on Brandi Andrews’ single in the bottom of the frame to pull Richland within 5-3. And the Bombers exploded in the fifth, sending 11 batters to the plate to take full control.

Ozuna, batting eighth, hit a three-run bomb to wrap it all up. Before that, Andrews slugged a two-run double, and Addison Pettit and Kaylie Northrop each hit RBI doubles.

Pettit added a two-run homer in the sixth as she and Andrews each drove in three on the day.
