CORVALLIS — After the Pendleton softball team came up short against West Albany in the Class 5A championship game last spring, coach Tim Cary and the girls knew they let one get away from them. The Bucks lost by just one run, 7-6, despite committing six errors in the field that led to five unearned runs.
When the Bucks got a second shot at a title on Saturday, it was obvious what piece of Pendleton’s game needed shoring up in order to have the title contest end differently.
“Errors. Equal. Runs,” said shortstop Kasidee Lemberger, who along with third baseman Darian Lindsey accounted for five infield putouts during Saturday’s championship game.
