A Historic Night for Montesano Baseball
The Montesano Bulldogs clinched their first district baseball championship since 2019, defeating Seton Catholic 4-0 in a tightly contested final.
Right-hander Caden Grubb delivered a complete-game shutout, surrendering just two hits while striking out nine batters, a performance that left the opposing lineup silent.
Montesano’s defense turned in a flawless effort, backing Grubb’s pitching with crisp fielding that prevented any rallies from the opposition.
The victory not only secured the title but also earned the Bulldogs the top seed in the upcoming state tournament, where they will host Royal in the opening round.
Earlier in the district slate, R.A. Long edged Aberdeen 5-4 in a thriller, while Pe Ell-Willapa Valley posted a 6-2 win over Ilwaco, with Max Jarvis and Mauricio Morales contributing key hits for the victors.
The pitching staff’s 0.00 ERA across the tournament reflected weeks of disciplined preparation and a collective commitment to excellence.
