Even if some of the signature hitting took a few innings to show up, the West Linn baseball team still looked to be in strong shape in a 6-0 shutout of Oregon City on Friday night. To close out their first Three Rivers League series sweep of the season, the Lions (10-3, 3-0 TRL) had a perfect showing from the outfield to stave off any scoring opportunities for the Pioneers (6-7, 0-3). Brett Ronson had the perfect answer when asked about the outfield’s performance.

La Salle Prep boys basketball narrowly survived to capture its first boys basketball championship in 39 years in a chaotic 57-56 victory over defending champion Summit on Saturday night.

La Salle senior Paul Skoro was the center of attention with an offensive foul to start and a game-winning free throw to win the Class 5A championship at Linfield.
