Prep Roundup | Rout raising a ruckus
Here's the fastpitch-softball score that is rapidly becoming the talk of the state:
Woodinville 64, Franklin 0.
The Wednesday KingCo 4A Conference game ended after five innings under the state's "mercy rule" that stops games if one team is ahead at that point by 10 runs. Woodinville got its runs in four innings and didn't bat in the fifth because it was the home team.
The score wasn't reported by either team and neither coach could be reached Saturday. However, word of the romp was spreading fast because an account of the game was on the Woodinville fastpitch Web site, which is connected with the school site.
The story was headlined "Falcons cause a 'hitquake' and said Woodinville amassed 60 hits in the drubbing. It included other facts such as the leadoff hitter going 8 for 10, scoring eight runs and knocking in eight runs.
The report said Woodinville stopped playing aggressively after taking a 7-0 lead and "didn't make a mockery of the game by 'intentionally' getting out."
Woodinville (3-0) finished third in the state 4A tournament last year and was the 2005 state champion. Franklin is 0-3 and finished 3-14 the past two seasons.
Inglemoor's Buttermore
tosses no-hitter
Jon Buttermore pitched a no-hitter in Inglemoor's 7-0 win over Garfield in KingCo 4A baseball game.
The senior struck out nine, walked two and faced 22 batters, one over the minimum. He threw 51 of his 72 pitches for strikes.
Dustin Biell went 2 for 2 with a run batted in and Matt Starr was 2 for 3 with two RBI for the Vikings. Giovanni Learned also drove two runs for Inglemoor.
