Cascade pushed their record up to 14-0 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games.

Newport's hitters will have their work cut out for them on Wednesday. Cascade has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 6.9 strikeouts per game.
