OSAA SB

Getting through this year’s Cowapa League was a battle for the top three teams, No. 1 Scappoose, No. 2 St. Helens, and No. 3 Astoria. However, the OSAA/OnPoint Community Credit Union 4A State Softball Championship bracket only allows two teams to play for the “blue trophy” and Scappoose and St. Helens made it to the final round to face each other for the fourth time this season. This time it was for all the marbles, Saturday, Jane Sanders Stadium, University of Oregon campus, Eugene. St. Helens (23-6), despite finishing second to the Indians in league, won their third straight over Scappoose (26-4) to win the State Championship, 5-3. In the 3A title matchup, it was a classic. No. 1, unbeaten Vale vs. No. 2 South Umpqua, bound for the 4A classification next year. The Vikings (30-0) prevailed over the Lancers (27-3), 1-0. The 2A/1A was won by No. 4 Heppner/Ione (20-5), over No. 3 Regis (28-4), 16-4 (6).
