Central Linn 3, Oakridge 2

Pitcher Kaylee Buckridge helped her own cause by leading off the fifth inning with a double and scoring on a hit by Caitlyn Gilbert to get the Cobras on the board.

Mary Sloan then drove in Gilbert on a single before scoring what would prove to be the winning run on a passed ball.

“When Kaylee led off the inning with that double it really fired people up,” said Central Linn coach Earl Hinkle. “That’s what really got us going.”
