SANDPOINT — Jesse Turner notched two hits, Gavin Day an RBI single as the host Bulldogs fell to the Hawks 9-3 and 16-1 at War Memorial Field on Thursday.

Sandpoint was held to just one hit in Game 1, which came on an RBI double from Jesse Turner in the bottom of the sixth. Turner also threw four innings for the Bulldogs, giving up seven hits, two earned runs and a walk while striking out one batter. The Bulldogs drew eight walks during the contest, but had trouble getting runners into scoring position.

In Game 2, trailing 16-0 heading into the final frame, Gavin Day hit an RBI single to left field to score Greyson Johnson, who singled to lead off the inning. Turner was the only other Bulldog to get aboard with a single to right in the fourth inning.

Sandpoint (6-13) will host Moscow for their regular season finale Monday.
