OROFINO — Orofino had an unorthodox start to its season, spliting a nonleague doubleheader Tuesday with Moscow.
The Maniacs (1-1) opened with a dominant 15-1 victory in Game 1 against the Bears.
Jenna Johnson put an end to Moscow’s comeback hopes in the second inning after hitting a grand slam.
“Jenna hit a home run (to) dead center and gave us the big lead which essentially motivated the run,” Orofino coach Sean Dissin said.
Moscow (1-1) handled the Maniacs in the second game as it entered the third inning with a 15-3 lead.
Orofino closed the gap to just 17-13 after five innings, but a 10-run seventh inning for Moscow sealed the game.
“We got one win against a 4A team, I consider that an overall win for us,” Dissin said. “You don’t see pitching like that in our district so it was good experience for our girls.”
