Wednesday night was the Trevor Lane show in Bothell as Mount Si routed the home team 8-2.
Taking the mound for the Wildcats, Lane kept Bothell’s bats quite. At the plate, the junior connected for a three-run home run in the fifth inning to ensure the win.
The Wildcats showed their resolve in shaking off the 11-1 drubbing the received from Redmond in their first preseason game. As with the Mustangs, Mount Si was taking on a 4A squad. Last season, Bothell finished the year with a 17-8 overall record.
Lane pitched five solid innings, only allowing one unearned run on three hits and one walk. He struck out four Bothell batters. Lane worked efficiently, throwing 71 pitches — 44 for strikes.
“We threw a lot of strikes and put the pressure on them, which is the style of play we want,” coach Elliott Cribby said in an e-mail.
Lane wasn’t the only Wildcat to flash some power at the plate. Second baseman Dustin Breshears connected for a home run, as well. Breshears had two runs batted in on two hits. Once on base, he showed his speed, swiping two bags. He scored four of Mount Si’s eight runs.
