West Linn Softball earns dominating victory over Southridge
Despite a 1-6 start to the season, the West Linn softball team took on the fourth ranked team in state, the Southridge Skyhawks (7-2), last Friday and recorded a commanding 7-2 victory.
“We excecuted when we needed to and continuously put the ball in play which caused Southridge to commit errors,” Hannah Siciliani, sophomore, said.
