Rayment Dominates the Mound for Mt. Spokane Wildcats

Mount Spokane High School's baseball program showcased dominant pitching Tuesday when junior Kyle Rayment threw a complete five-inning no-hitter against Cheney in a Greater Spokane League 4A/3A matchup. Rayment's performance was nothing short of spectacular, striking out eight batters while allowing zero hits as the Wildcats (9-6, 9-3) shutout the visiting Blackhawks (0-15, 0-12) by a score of 10-0.

The no-hitter capped off an impressive offensive display by Mount Spokane. Senior Connor Moffitt went 2 for 2 with three RBIs and a run, providing crucial run support for Rayment's stellar pitching. Matt Busch contributed a double and an RBI, helping the Wildcats pile on runs early and often. This dominant performance keeps Mount Spokane's playoff hopes alive as the regular season winds down.

Bond's Grand Slam Propels Softball Dominance

The Mount Spokane softball program continued their impressive season Tuesday with a convincing 10-0 victory over visiting University High School in a GSL 4A/3A conference game. Senior pitcher Addi Jay was lights-out in the circle, striking out 11 batters over a five-inning complete game while surrendering no runs.

Offensively, the Wildcats (14-1, 12-1) were unstoppable. Jay went 3 for 3 at the plate with a home run, double, and four RBIs, but the highlight came from junior Emme Bond, who smashed a grand slam to punctuate Mount Spokane's dominant offensive performance. The grand slam exemplified the Wildcats' championship-caliber depth, with multiple hitters capable of delivering the big blow.

Mount Spokane's softball team sits at 14-1 overall and 12-1 in GSL play, positioning themselves as genuine contenders for a deep WIAA playoff run. The combination of Jay's overpowering pitching and the Wildcats' balanced offensive attack makes them a formidable opponent heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
