Cascade Cougars Softball 0-4 Scappoose

The Cougars couldn't solve Scappoose's pitching Monday afternoon, falling 4-0 in a non-league softball matchup that highlighted some early-season growing pains. Cascade managed just scattered hits against the Indians' starter, who kept the visitors off balance throughout the seven-inning contest.

Scappoose built their lead gradually, capitalizing on key opportunities while keeping the Cougars' offense in check. The loss drops Cascade to 2-4 on the young spring season as they continue working to find their rhythm at the plate.

While the scoreboard wasn't kind to the visitors, the Cougars showed solid defensive play behind their pitcher and kept the game from getting out of hand against a quality Scappoose squad.

Cascade will look to bounce back when they return home later this week. With league play approaching, these non-conference games provide valuable experience as the Cougars work to establish their identity and build chemistry. The season is still young, and there's plenty of time to turn things around as the weather warms up.
