Cascade 5, MTCS 1
Cascade opened the 2022 season with a 5-1 victory over MTCS on Monday evening.
The game was a low-scoring affair, with the Lady Cougars notching the game’s first run in the top of the third inning on a solo home run off Lady Champion pitcher Brianna Horn.
That lone run was the only run of the night Horn surrendered to MTCS.
Following the solo blast, Cascade responded with a huge sixth inning, plating five runs to blow the game wide open.
Audrey Perry led off the inning with a single to right and scored off a fielder’s choice by senior Lani Jones.
Kyndal Bolden singled to start three-straight hits by Cascade, highlighted by Vera Bilbro’s RBI triple.
Ella Thompson also connected on a RBI single for the final run of the inning.
Horn went the distance for Cascade and gave up just the one earned run on four hits.
She had just two walks, but struck out 13 in the victory.
