PRESCOTT – The Prescott boys fell twice to Asotin at home in a Friday double-header, 2-0 and 10-3.
In the first game, Jacob Dunn pitched a gem, giving up only three hits in a complete-game effort. But a fifth-inning Tiger error with one out led to two Panther runs that provided all the scoring the visitors needed.
Prescott also recorded three hits, but couldn't generate any offense. Dunn had eight strikeouts for Prescott, but the Tigers struck out 12 times against Asotin pitcher Koby Blunt.
"Jacob threw well enough to win," Prescott coach Dustin Snedigar said, "but we were unable to generate any offense behind his effort."
In game two, the Panthers pounded Tiger pitching early, racking up seven runs in the first three innings on the way to a 10-3 win. Asotin had nine hits and took advantage of four Prescott errors.
After scoring arun in the first, the Tigers were stifled until the bottom of the seventh, when Kyle Gradwohl slugged a two-run homer. Prescott had a total of seven hits in the game.
"We dug ourselves a hole early in the secomd game, and were unable to respond," Snedigar said. "Kyle Gradwohl's 7th inning two-run home run was exciting for the kids."
The Tigers were to play Tuesday afternoon, hosting DeSales. They play at home against Liberty Christian on Thursday.
