Whitefish edges Bigfork 6-5 in baseball

WHITEFISH — Brady Howke’s RBI grounder in the fourth inning scored Chris Schwaderer with the go-ahead run, and Whitefish held off Bigfork 6-5 in high school baseball Wednesday.

Bigfork had rallied to a 3-3 tie when Schwaderer walked to lead off the fifth, moved to third on Avery Caton’s double and scored on Howke’s grounder. CJ Thew followed with a sacrifice fly to score Caton and give the Bulldogs (7-9) a 5-3 lead.

Michael Miller drove in an important insurance run with an RBI single — Tate Orme, who’d singled, crossed the plate — in the fifth inning.
