Grants Pass Cavemen Softball 5-13 West Salem

West Salem's offensive power proved too much for Grants Pass in Thursday's non-league softball matchup, as the visiting squad pulled away for a 13-5 victory at the Cavemen home field.

The loss drops Grants Pass to 5-4 overall and 2-3 in conference play as they navigate the middle portion of their spring campaign. While the Cavemen managed to put five runs on the board, West Salem's consistent scoring throughout the game created a deficit that proved insurmountable.

The non-league contest provided valuable experience against outside competition, though the result wasn't what the home crowd hoped to see on a Thursday afternoon. Grants Pass has shown the ability to compete this season, evidenced by their solid start to the year.

With conference standings still within reach and several games remaining on the schedule, the Cavemen will look to regroup and return to their winning ways. The team's resilience will be tested as they prepare for their next opponent, seeking to get back above .500 in league play.
