The Doherty Spartans will take on the Tualatin Timberwolves at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday. Doherty is coming into the game on a three-game losing streak.
Last Tuesday, Doherty came up short against St. Helens and fell 7-3.
Cooper Settle put in work while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single earned run, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in May of 2024. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with one home run. That home run marked the first that he launched this season.
Settle wasn't the only one making solid contact as seven players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Avery Popovich, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That run was Popovich's first of the season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tualatin). They blew past Vista Ridge 16-1 on Wednesday.
Tualatin now has a winning record of 2-1-1. As for Doherty, their loss dropped their record down to 2-5.
