No. 3-ranked Cascade remained unbeaten Wednesday with a 13-2 softball victory over Philomath.
The Warriors (9-8 overall, 3-5 Oregon West) will try to get back in the win column Thursday with a 5 p.m. game against Newport.
Cascade (18-0, 8-0) had the upper hand in all three facets of the game against Philomath with eight of the nine starters collecting hits, freshman pitcher Maddie Tingle allowing just four singles and one walk, and the Cougars committing four fewer errors.
Philomath scored a run in the top of the first. Leadoff batter Hailey Smith was hit by a pitch and later scored on a ball put in play by Janae Traglia. The Warriors scored their other run in the fourth when Hannah Bennett singled and reached home on a Zoee Howard single.
Bennett went 2 for 2 to lead the PHS offense.
