Montesano 3, Rochester 0

Montesano took a big step toward locking up the 1A Evergreen League title with a 3-0 win over Rochester in the first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday at Vessey Field in Montesano.

The Bulldogs (18-0 overall, 10-0 1A Evergreen) were led by ace left-hander Caden Grubb, who stymied the Warriors (11-5, 9-2) in pitching a complete-game, three-hit shutout.

Grubb retired eight straight Rochester batters to start the game and had eight strikeouts to just one walk. He retired eight of the final nine Warriors he faced to secure the win.

Monte scored a run in the bottom of the first when second baseman Zach Timmons came in to score on a wild pitch and made it 2-0 when catcher Colton Grubb walked with the sacks full to drive in outfielder Carter Ames.

Mason Fry made it 3-0 when he doubled to drive in first baseman Kole Kjesbu with one out in the bottom of the sixth.
