And then there were four. West Salem used a legendary pitching performance and late inning heroics to defeat the West Albany Bulldogs in the OSAA 6A state quarterfinals. Logan Johnson went the distance on the mound for the Titans, yielding only 2 runs on 4 hits. West Salem jumped out to an early lead plating two in the bottom of the second. West Albany wouldn't go down without a fight, however, as they used a solo home run and RBI triple in consecutive innings to tie the game. With one out in the bottom of the seventh Austin Ailstock sent the Titan fans home happy with a walk-off sacrifice fly scoring Brody Hillman.
