After defeating Marshall County, 3-2, in game one of their final non-district series of the season, the Cascade Champions returned home to celebrate Senior Night for Track & Field and Baseball before falling, 8-1, in game two against the Tigers on Monday night.

Cascade Track & Field Seniors (from left to right), Juliana Anderholt, Hailey Giel, McKenzie Hensel, and Grace Wilder were recognized on Monday …

All nine seniors were in the starting lineup for the Champions, with Caden Hammonds and Luke Harris, two seniors with just a few spot starts this season between them, going 4-5 at the plate, including Hammonds going 3-4 and recording Cascade’s lone RBI of the game after coming into the night with four hits all season. Harris delivered a base hit in only his third at-bat of the year, improving to 2-3 at the plate overall.

Sawyer Lovvorn, Walker Craig, Logan Green, and sophomore substitute Jordan Childress all recorded one hit. Connor Melson joined Hammonds as the only other Champion with a multi-hit game, recording a pair of singles. 

The Tigers and the Champions each recorded 10 hits, but Marshall County put together  a couple with men on base (aided by a trio of Cascade errors) while Cascade’s bats left 11 runners stranded.

Cascade wraps up the regular season with a 14-7 record (6-2) and will host Cannon County at 5:00 p.m. on Friday in the first round of the District 9-AA Tournament.
