The Woodinville Lady Falcons punctuated its dream season with a 6-0 whitewash of Walla Walla

Saturday at the Dwight Merkel Sports Complex in Spokane to finish a perfect 26-0 and bring home the

state championship trophy.

Fact is, it wasn't even close as the Lady Falcons buzzed through the competition in four straight games

with a combined score of 45-3--and the three runs allowed were all unearned.

And they did it largely without the services of home run and RBI leader Alex Boyd, who was struck in the

face by a South Kitsap overthrow during infield practice right before the opener and had to sit for the

first three before returning for the finale.

"It sounds a little trite but it's just an incredible group of kids," head coach Mark Leander said. "I just

stood back and let them do their stuff."

And nobody did it better than Madi Schreyer, who pitched every inning and whose line looked like this:

24 innings, 10 hits, 37 strikeouts and five walks.

Against the best competition the state had to offer, her ERA was 0.00. "She was lights-out," Leander

said. "I could tell right away from her body language she was gonna be really hard to beat."

But by no means was it a one-man band. "Everybody hit," Leander said. "Emily (Jackson), Mak (Makenna

Weir), Keelin (Davis), Lauren (Burchak), Sarah Taketa, Sara Anderson, the O'Farrell girls (Kayla and

Alyssa), everybody…And we got tremendous play from some of our bench kids. Alex Nelson stepped in

for Boyd and did great. Nicole Versace, Alison Wulfman, Tori Lettus scored on a great slide at home

when the ball had beaten her…Everybody stepped up and contributed and that's the really great thing

about it."

For the record, they beat South Kitsap 19-1 in five innings, Marysville-Pilchuk 9-1, Richland 11-1 in five

before the shutout in the title game. "There was never a letdown," Leander said. "Not for a moment."
