Huskies run into wall on playoff trail at Cascade
The 4A state softball
tournament has four teams left,
and Cascade is one of them after
defeating the Huskies 4-0 in the
first round of bracket play at home
on May 23.
Cascade took a 1-0 lead in
the bottom of the first inning after
Sommer Coleman hit a triple.
A pitchers battle, it was three
up, three down most of the way
to the fourth inning when Megan
Graville singled on two outs and
stole second. Emili Riggs and
Megan Rubidoux walked to load
the bases.
In a similar position to the
Huskies' last outing against Stayton
when she scored runs, Sierra Thayer
was next at bat; but Hannah Ganfield
struck her out. Cascade's Kristin
Taylor singled to reach base, and
Coleman hit a sac bunt to move her
to third. Graville struck out the next
batter, and with two outs, Cascades
Morgan Hunter knocked the ball
Up the third base line, bouncing the
ball off the tip of Rubidoux's glove
. to score Taylor and the second run
of the game.
The Huskies had another shot at
scoring in the top of the sixth when
Halley Hummer reached third base.
Riggs hit the ball to the ground on
the left to Cascade's third baseman,
trapping Hummer between third
and home.

on Sweet Home errors in the sixth
to close out the win.
"It looks like we played
Cascade a little better than their
next opponent," said Coach Casey
Humphrey. Cascade, the state
champion for the last two years,
beat Madras 5-0 and has advanced
to the semi-finals. Cascade, ranked
second, was scheduled to play
top-ranked Henley on Tuesday.
The winner advanced to the
championship, and will face Banks
or Mazama on June 2.
"We obviously never feel good
after a loss," Humphrey said. "But I
think we had a great season. I think
we played a pretty good game. I
was ready for that one big hit, but id
didn't quite come through for us."
The girls competed well with
opportunities to score, he said.
Graville pitched to Riggs in
this game, striking out two, walking
none and giving up eight hits.
Ganfield pitched to Cassie
Lund, striking out seven and giving
up two walks and four hits.
At bat, Hummer, Graville,
McKenzie Cochran and Caytlin
Gillespie each had a hit.
Overall, Humphrey ispleased
with the season, he said. "We did
have a lot of wins, but we don't
base it off of wins and losses."
The team improved all season
long, from a 10-0 loss to Newport at
the beginning to a showdown with
one of the top teams in the state
in playoffs, he said. The Huskies
handled Stayton during the play-
in round, and it came down to
Cascade.
"That's a good spot," he said.
