Canby won against Centennial on Tuesday with 11 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Wednesday. Everything went the Cougars' way against the Parkrose Broncos as they made off with an 11-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Cougars, who have now won seven matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Kinsley Morrow made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. What's more, she posted five strikeouts, the most she's had since back in May of 2024. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and three runs.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ava Heckathorn, who got on base in two of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Kristin Vissers was another key player, going 1-for-2 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.

Canby always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .536. They are a perfect 3-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The win was the third in a row for Canby, bringing their record up to 8-6. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games. As for Parkrose, they are on a 33-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-11.

Coming up, Parkrose will face off against South Salem at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Canby will be paying especially close attention to the Broncos' game: after the Broncos face off against the Saxons, they'll take on Canby again at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
