Cascade turned in a strong week, splitting its district series with Forrest before shutting out Central Magnet and Moore County.

Cascade came up just short in Monday’s opener despite a strong effort at the plate. The Champions scored twice in the third inning to briefly take the lead, with Wickey Parker driving in a run as part of a three-hit night. Forrest answered with runs in the third and fourth to regain control and held on from there.

Cascade finished with six hits, with Parker leading the way. Jordan Childress, Elijah Wesenberg and Xykaiah Dixon each added a hit.

Cascade bounced back Tuesday behind a dominant performance from Jayden Hathcock. The right-hander tossed a complete-game one-hitter, striking out eight. The Champions broke through in the second inning on an RBI single by Thomas Demartelaere and added two more runs in the sixth. Hathcock also had two hits, while Demartelaere and Caleb Crouch recorded multi-hit games.

Cascade carried the momentum into Wednesday, using early power and strong pitching to secure another shutout. Jordan Childress opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first, and the Champions added insurance in the second and fifth innings.

Brody Greene struck out eight over four scoreless innings, and Childress closed it out in relief. Xykaiah Dixon and Daymian Maldonado each had two hits.

Cascade erased an early deficit with a six-run third inning and leaned on timely hitting and strong relief pitching to claim a 9-8 win over Hubbard.
