MADRAS — Kendall Kramer’s three-run triple in the sixth inning sparked Bend High to an 8-3 nonconference softball victory over Madras on Tuesday, giving the Lava Bears their sixth win in seven games this season.

Bend led 4-2 after five innings before Kramer’s one-out triple in the top of the sixth sealed the victory for the visiting team.

“That kind of broke things up,” Lava Bear coach Wade Kinkade said, “because (Madras pitcher Jasmine) Reese was throwing the ball well.”

Megan Berrigan earned the win for Bend, striking out eight while scattering six hits.

“She pitched well,” Kinkade said of Berrigan. “They only hit one hard ball off her.”

Awbrie Elle Kinkade went 3 for 4 with an RBI and Katie Brown added a double in the Bears’ victory.

Bend, which is off until April 12 when the Bears host Hood River Valley, have now won six in a row since dropping its season opener to The Dalles Wahtonka on March 22.
