Oregon Class 4A Softball Semi-Final
The Dalles 3, Scappoose 1: The Riverhawks made an early 3-0 lead stand up and advance to Saturday’s championship game. Jeilane Stewart’s lead off home run in the first inning gave The Dalles the lead. The Riverhawks then scored two runs in the third inning, on back to back doubles by Keilani Crichton-Tunai and Despina Seufaulemua and a single by Madalynn Sagapoulutele. Saige Casey homered in the fourth for Scappoose, and then the Riverhawks had to hold off threats in the next two innings. Scappoose had a runner thrown out at the plate on a double steal attempt in the fifth inning, and stranded runners at second and third in the sixth inning. Kennedy Abbas struck out five on the way to pitching a six-hitter. The Dalles will meet top-seed Henley, who nipped Pendleton 11-10 in the other semi-final, in the championship game on Saturday at 6 p.m. in Eugene.
