Wilder 14U falls in PNW regional championship

MERIDIAN, Idaho — Wilder 14U answered one big inning against Woodland’s FCA Lumberjacks but couldn’t keep pace with the timber crew, falling 15-5 in five innings in the Pacific Northwest Babe Ruth 14U Regional Championship on Wednesday.

The Lumberjacks put up five in the home half of the first before Wilder answered back with five runs of its own in the second frame.

Brycen Allen tallied two hits in the contest, including an RBI single. Coleman Keate hustled to score on a wild pitch, and Jay Lieberman drove in a pair of runs with a second-inning single.

Kyler Williams added a sacrifice fly to tie the game up at 5 apiece.

Williams, Lieberman and Keate all had troubles on the mound for Wilder 14U, which wrapped the season with a 24-7-1 record.

All three Wilder teams reached their respective Pacific Northwest Babe Ruth Regional Championship games before bowing out.
