March 19 - March 25

Welcome to "Primetime Pitchers", where each week, we'll highlight the top pitching performances across baseball and softball diamonds around the state of Idaho.

We will select one pitching performance for each day of the week.  Think of it as the best pitching line for that particular day.

Because the season began on a Wednesday, this weekly rundown will cover the previous week's Wednesday through Tuesday action.

Without further ado, let's get to it!

BASEBALL

David Goicoa, Grangeville (Wednesday, March 26)

Goicoa racked up the strikeouts in Grangeville's 11-0 win over Central Idaho League foe St. Maries.  In six shutout innings of work, Goicoa allowed only three hits and registered an astonishing 17 strikeouts.  To put this in perspective, that's 17 of the 18 total outs recorded via strikeout.

Thayn Williams, Grangeville (Thursday, March 27)

Another day, another Grangeville Bulldog pitching his team to victory.  This time, the Bulldogs defeated CIL rival Kellogg 30-0.  In five innings, Williams allowed only two hits, while striking out nine and walking one.

Brady Robinson, Borah (Friday, March 28)

Robinson pitched a complete game in Borah's narrow Southern Idaho Conference win over Boise.  In the 3-1 triumph, Robinson tossed seven innings of one run ball.  The run was unearned, as the Borah defense committed two errors.  Robinson allowed three hits, and struck out eleven while walking none.

Jacen Farr, Challis-Mackay (Saturday, March 29)

Jacen Farr is a Challis High student that competes with the Challis-Mackay Rivercats, a co-op strictly used for baseball.  In the Rivercats' 2-0 win over Nuclear Conference rival North Fremont, Farr pitched a seven-inning shutout.  Farr yielded only five baserunners total, on four hits and a walk, and he struck out 13 Huskies.

Karsten Sweesy, Lighthouse Christian (Monday, March 31)

Sweesy pitched five innings of one-run ball in the Lions' 14-1 triumph over Rimrock.  The lone run Sweesy yielded was unearned, and Rimrock only recorded three hits total.  Sweesy also struck out nine while walking four.

Junior Horsley and Kyen Kirby, Soda Springs (Tuesday, April 1)

This Cardinals pair pitched a combined no-hitter in Soda Springs' 16-1 win over West Jefferson.  Horsley went four innings, striking out nine while walking two.  The two free passes led to the lone run scored.  Kirby then came in to finish off the fifth and final inning, and struck out the side.

SOFTBALL

LeeAnn Hartzell and Makiah Weideman, New Plymouth (Wednesday, March 26)

This dynamic duo combined for a no-hitter in the Pilgrims' 19-2 win over Garden Valley.  Through five innings of work, one walk and three errors by the New Plymouth defense were the only blemishes on the day.  The two runs allowed were both unearned.

Shae Jones, Timberlake (Thursday, March 27)

The freshman tossed a complete-game one-hitter, as Timberlake defeated Colville (Washington) 3-2.  Jones went seven innings, and allowed two unearned runs on just one hit.  She struck out 11 and walked one.

Traylee Reid, Rigby (Friday, March 28)

Rigby survived a wild, back-and-forth affair with High Country Conference rival Madison, earning a 9-8 win in extra innings.  Reid pitched all eight innings in the victory, and although eight Madison runs came home, only three were earned.  The rest can be chalked up to a pair of errors in the field.  Reid struck out nine and walked one while allowing just four hits.

Danica Quinn, Rocky Mountain (Saturday, March 29)

The Grizzlies defeated Thunder Ridge 11-1, and Quinn went the distance in the pitcher's circle.  Quinn allowed one run on four hits across five innings while striking out seven and walking one.

Taylor Martinez, Glenns Ferry (Monday, March 31)

Martinez fired a no-hitter in the Pilots' 24-0 shutout of Notus in Western Idaho Conference action.  Martinez struck out fourteen batters over five innings of no-hit ball.  The only blemishes on the day were two hit batters and a walk.

Peyton Shook, Nampa Christian (Tuesday, April 1)

Shook twirled a no-hitter as Nampa Christian defeated Melba 15-0 in Western Idaho Conference play.  Across five innings of work, Shook struck out 12 Mustangs.  In fact, one solitary walk was the only difference between Shook celebrating a no-hitter and a perfect game.
