The Main Event: Cottage Grove Softball

PIERRE WEIL / CHRONICLE PHOTO Cottage Grove’s Emily Pacheco pitches in the team’s 11-1 loss against North Bend last week. According to head coach Adam Dimock, Pacheco is among the state leaders in strike outs.

#16 MARSHFIELD (7-6) at #19 COTTAGE GROVE (5-6) 

■ Just the facts:  Friday, April 25….Doubleheader games at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.

■ Leading off: The Lions invite Marshfield to their field on Friday for a late afternoon doubleheader. The No. 16 Pirates (7-6) and the Lions are tied in the Sky-Em League at 1-2; a win from either team would lift them in the standings. The Lions went 0-3 last year against the Pirates. It’s always a good opportunity to see pitcher Emily Pacheco in her final season at Cottage Grove – she surrendered three hits and three runs while striking out 11 batters in Game One against North Bend last week. Also, don’t miss Addison Hitt, who went 4-for-3 with two RBIs last week.
