West Albany 9, Crescent Valley 5

West Albany backed Kristin Warner's two-hit pitching with big bats to record a 9-5 win over Crescent Valley.

Warner didn't give up an earned run and her teammates put together a late rally scoring four in the eighth to get the Mid-Willamette Conference softball win.

Warner, who struckout eight, was plagued by five walks but was mostly in control despite four errors behind her.

The West hitters made up for it late, stringing together five hits in the extra frame to plate the four runs.

Stephanie Johnson, Kayleen Gary, Kayla Dell and Lacey Dixon all had two hits in the game. Dixon and Jean Stevens, who tripled, each drove in a pair.

"I'm really proud of the way Kristin pitched," said West coach Rocky Erner. "She's been in every game for us and is just getting better."

West Albany (5-2-1, 4-0) plays a make-up MWC game today at Lebanon and then hosts Crescent Valley in the finale of their three- game series on Friday.

Harrisburg 2, SC 1 (8 Innings)

Erica Traw doubled in the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth to give Harrisburg the win at home in the Pac-West Conference game.

Traw also picked up the win on the mound in a classic pitchers' dual with Kalyssa Koontz.

Traw drove in Caitlin Francalancia, who scored from first after drawing a walk to lead off the inning.

Francalancia drove in the other Harrisburg run in the sixth with a sacrifice fly that plated Lauren Croucher, who had singled and moved to third.

Santiam Christian scored its only run in the first inning on an RBI single by Becca Anni.

Traw finished with three strikeouts, while Koontz fanned four.
