In Friday's league game, the host Archbishop Murphy Wildcats baseball team scored a nice 14-4 victory over the Cedarcrest Red Wolves.

The Red Wolves (15-4) will now prepare for their game against Arlington (Arlington, WA). The Eagles go into the non-league game with a 6-8 record. In their last game, Arlington was overwhelmed by Oak Harbor (Oak Harbor, WA), 6-4, in a league game.

It was do-or-die week for the Archbishop Murphy High School baseball team.

Three games against the defending Class 2A state champion Cedarcrest. Three wins required to snare an unlikely Cascade Conference championship.

Not only did the Wildcats pull it off, they barely broke a sweat in the process.

Archbishop Murphy finished off its final-week comeback in style Friday afternoon, defeating the Red Wolves 14-4 to complete the sweep and claim the crown. The game was shortened to six innings by the 10-run rule. Cedarcrest, meanwhile, must regroup for the postseason. The Red Wolves played the entire series without key batters Tommy Edwards and Jared Klingenberg because of injury. Edwards, who is recovering from a dislocated finger, may return in time for district. But Klingenberg, who recently underwent shoulder surgery, is out for good. “They earned it,” Cedarcrest coach Scott Goldsberry said of the Wildcats. “Whether we’re down people or not they earned it, congrats to them."
