Crescent Valley 9, West Albany 8

A two-out, three-run home run by Crescent Valley's Thomas McCarthy in the seventh inning Wednesday gave the Raiders a 9-8 victory over West Albany.

It was the Bulldogs' first loss of the Mid-Willamette Conference season.

McCarthy's blast came after a passed ball on a third strike that would have given the Bulldogs the win kept the inning alive.

"Those things happen. I give CV credit. They kept comin' at us," said West Albany coach Don Lien.

It was the Bulldogs who came back first. Trailing

1-0, West exploded for five runs in the fifth. CV responded immediately with its own five-run rally in the sixth.

West got three more in its half of the sixth, but McCarthy's shot gave the Raiders the lead for good.

Six West Albany players had two hits, including Tyler Spevacek and Nick Irving, who both doubled.

West Albany (6-4, 4-1) meets the Raiders again on Friday at CV.
