Leyton Hurley Dominates for University Baseball; Riley Kincaid Powers Mt. Spokane Softball

Hurley's Dominant Pitching Carries Titans Past Shadle Park

University High School's Leyton Hurley put on a masterclass Friday night, striking out 10 batters over a complete five-inning game as the Titans (15-2, 13-1) dominated visiting Shadle Park 11-1 in Greater Spokane League 4A/3A action. Hurley's efficient performance set the tone for a dominant outing that showcased why the Titans are among the elite teams in the GSL this season.

The offensive firepower didn't stop there. Elijah Williams launched a three-run homer to spark the Titans' explosive offense, while Marco Longo contributed two hits and drove in four runs. The combination of dominant pitching and timely hitting proved too much for the Highlanders (4-12, 2-12) to overcome. University's ability to win convincingly at this point in the season demonstrates the depth of talent across both sides of the ball.

Riley Kincaid's Perfect Night Lifts Mt. Spokane Softball

Mt. Spokane softball's Riley Kincaid had a night that every batter dreams about, going a perfect 3-for-3 with a homer and a triple to lead the first-place Wildcats (16-1, 14-1) to an 11-1 victory over Cheney in six innings. Kincaid's performance exemplified the kind of elite hitting that's keeping Mt. Spokane undefeated in league play.

Supporting Kincaid's stellar batting was the pitching brilliance of Addison Jay, who struck out 11 batters while tossing a complete game. Jay also contributed at the plate with two hits and three RBIs. The Wildcats' dominance in this matchup against the visiting Blackhawks (10-5, 10-5) showcases their status as one of the premier programs in Washington prep softball heading into the postseason stretch.

Dominant Performances Across the GSL

Friday's action throughout the Greater Spokane League featured several blowout victories. In baseball, Ridgeline's Charlie Lynn homered twice and finished with three RBIs as the visiting Falcons (12-5, 11-3) defeated Cheney 9-3, with Braxxton Barker and Nolan Wohl also going deep. Meanwhile, in softball, Deer Park's Lucy Lathrop went an absurd 5-for-5 with two home runs and six RBIs as the Stags swept East Valley in a GSL 2A doubleheader.

These performances remind us why Washington's high school baseball and softball programs continue to develop some of the state's most talented young athletes. As we move deeper into spring sports season, both University baseball and Mt. Spokane softball are positioning themselves as teams to watch come tournament time.
