Cascade Cougars Baseball 2-4 West Albany

West Albany's bats came alive in the late innings to hand Cascade a 4-2 baseball defeat Monday afternoon at home. The Cougars couldn't capitalize on early momentum in what proved to be a competitive non-league battle between Mid-Valley programs.

Cascade managed to plate two runs but struggled to generate consistent offensive pressure against West Albany's pitching staff. The Bulldogs methodically built their lead through steady at-bats and timely hitting when runners reached scoring position.

The loss drops Cascade to 1-4 on the young season as the Cougars continue searching for their rhythm at the plate. While the record may not reflect it yet, the team showed flashes of the competitive baseball that could serve them well as league play approaches.

Cascade will look to bounce back and even their home record when they return to action. With several non-league games remaining before conference competition begins, the Cougars have opportunities to build momentum and fine-tune their approach on both sides of the ball.
