No. 2 Cascade triumphs Nolan Roberts had three hits and Kyle Stutzman and Don Jenkins each contributed two as Cascade Christian downed St. Mary's 10-4 in District 6 baseball Monday. The game was shortened to six innings because of rain. The second-ranked Challengers jumped out to an 8-1 lead heading into the sixth before St. Mary's tacked on three runs. Cascade Christian was at the plate and had pushed two more runs across when the game was stopped. "It just wasn't a good day to play baseball," said Cascade Christian coach John Bruce. "We went through 18 baseballs and 14 were ruined. Most of those balls ruined were done so within a few minutes." Brian Edwards picked up his seventh win on the mound against no losses in his four innings of work. Erick Phillips went 2-for-3 for St. Mary's, while the Challengers improved to 12-0 overall and 4-0 in league play. "We got our tough part of the schedule out of the way early," said St. Mary's coach Tony Schultz referring to his team's 3-8 overall record and its 0-4 conference mark. "This Cascade team is very good, so hopefully we can get off to a fresh new start."
