CORVALLIS — A double play is a pitcher’s best friend, whether it arrives by way of sure-handed infielders or more unconventional means.
The Mustangs lit the final fuse for a state title celebration when third baseman Cassi Day applied the tag on Pirate Elizabeth McGuire as she slid into third on a mid-range fly ball to end the seventh inning. As the umpire punched his fist to signal the out, softball gloves flew into the air to signal Heppner’s 4-2 Class 2A/1A State Championship victory on Friday from Oregon State University’s Softball Complex.
