Lady Kodiaks softball sweeps Cashmere

Posted

The Cascade High School softball team added two more impressive wins on April 13 after going 2-0 in a Caribou Trail League doubleheader against Cashmere.

Cascade earned a 17-2 win in game one, and 16-1 victory in the nightcap. Both games ended in the fifth inning due to the 10-run mercy rule.

The Lady Kodiaks’ biggest inning came in the third with five runs. Truh Merriman, Sarah Paulson, Kaija Lovelady and Renee Lambert all brought in runs during the frame.

Paulson tallied four of Cascade’s 14 hits, including four RBIs and four runs scored. Alondra Acevedo, Lambert and Merriman had two hits each.

Cascade continued their momentum in game two, gaining a three-run lead in the first inning, followed by a three run second inning, and three-run third. After the Lady Bulldogs scored a run in the bottom of the third, the Lady Kodiaks answered with four runs in the fourth inning, including a double from Merriman.

Madeline Schiefelbein went 3-for-4, including an RBI and two doubles, to lead Cascade at the plate. Merriman, Autumn West, Lambert and Madison Hardy collected two hits apiece. Paulson earned the pitching win in game one while Lambert earned the victory in the nightcap. Paulson was lights out on the mound, throwing a one-hitter and striking out 11 Cascade batters.

“We had some miscues in the second game … but we played well,”  Coach Gilbert said. “One thing we have to learn is to be consistent.”

Cascade will host Chelan in a conference game on April 16.
