Portland Cascade News Release
The Portland Cascade put together one of their most complete offensive performances of the season on Wednesday night, scoring 10 unanswered runs to earn a 10-2 run-rule victory over the Utah Talons in five innings before another sold-out crowd at Hillsboro Ballpark.
After falling behind 2-0 through the first three innings, Portland's offense posted a five-run third inning fueled by home runs from Korbe Otis and Tori Vidales. Otis launched a three-run shot to left-center before Vidales followed later in the inning with a two-run blast to put the Cascade in front for good.
The Cascade added another five runs in the fifth inning to end the game early. Sierra Sacco-Ferrie opened the rally with a double before Kenleigh Cahalan delivered a two-run single and Kennedy Powell capped the scoring with a walk-off RBI single.
Otis and Vidales each finished with three RBI, while Sacco-Ferrie, Cahalan and Powell all recorded two-hit performances as Portland collected 10 hits. Vidales extended her hot streak by going 6-for-11 with six RBI over her last four games.
Rookie right-hander Kenzie Brown tossed her team-leading fourth complete game of the season, allowing two runs-just one earned-on four hits while striking out four over five innings to improve to 4-2.
The victory marked Portland's second run-rule win of the season and allowed the Cascade to improve to 4-0 against the Talons in 2026. The two teams close their series on Thursday night at Hillsboro Ballpark.
