The Mossyrock softball team won its second-straight District 4 Championship on Thursday, as the Vikings topped Naselle 18-3 in five innings in Montesano.
The Vikings (10-6) started scoring early, scoring three runs in the first to take a 3-0 lead.
After Naselle tied the game with three unearned runs in the top of the second, Erin Cournyer helped herself in the circle by blasting a three-run home run to give Mossyrock the lead right back.
The Vikings never looked back, adding two more in the second and one in the third before blowing the game open with nine in the fourth.
“We started crushing the ball,” Mossyrock coach Keith Coleman said. “It’s kind of like a light turned on.”
Lois Stone went 3 for 4 with an inside-the-park home run and she drove in five, while Chesney Schultz collected two hits, drove in four, and scored three times. Taylor Schwartz collected two hits, including a double, and she drove in two and and scored three runs of her own
“If they hit like they did today, we should go pretty far,” Coleman said.
Mossyrock will now await its seeding and first-round matchup for the 1B State Tournament, which will take place in Yakima on May 24 and 25.
“Just excited to get over there and have fun,” Coleman said. “It’s a reward for the season. Hopefully everything goes well and we bring home some hardware. I’m looking forward to it.”
