Blackhawks slow pitch nails big win against Wildcats

CHENEY – If you thought the Cheney slow pitch softball program was too new to have any really big games, you’d be wrong.

The Lady Blackhawks posted what could arguably be one of the biggest wins by any Cheney team this season on Monday, Oct. 7, by rallying for a 2-1 win over previously unbeaten 3A Mt. Spokane. Kerttu Partanen hit the game-tying single and eventually came around to score what proved to be the winning run in Cheney’s two-run top of the seventh, with pitcher Makenna Olson and the defense holding off the Wildcats in their last at bat.
