After clinching the Mid-Willamette co-championship with Silverton on Friday, the host Bulldogs took out 4A Cascade in a non-league contest Monday.

Following her five inning no-hitter against South Albany, Kristin Warner struck out five Cascade batters to help earn her 18th victory of the season.

West received an offensive boost from underclassmen at the bottom of the order as freshman No. 9 hitter Kiley Bussard drove in two rund on a second inning double.

The No. 8 batter, sophomore Courtney Martin, went 2 for 3 while making two over-the-should grabsand added an assist on a double play from right field.

"We wanted a warm-up, tune-up game before state and (Cascade had) two very good pitchers they threw against us. And they can hit the ball well too," said Bulldogs coach Rocky Erner.

"They made my defense do some work tonight and they (responded) really well.)"

West Albany (18-6-1, 17-4) will face No. 1 PIL seed Cleveland in Portland on May 20.
