EUGENE – As a freshman last season, Grady Saunders secured Thurston’s state title with a walk-off, extra-inning, inside-the-park home run. This season, Saunders secured the title through his play on the mound, pitching 6.1 innings, striking out four, and shutting out a West Albany team that averaged almost 7 runs a game.
