It was my first visit to cover McMinnville softball Tuesday as the Grizzlies defeated Yamhill County foe Newberg, 11-0.

McMinnville junior Juliet Pesina-Wade - a day after blasting three homers and driving in 10 runs in a home win over Central Catholic - hit her fourth homer in two days and her ninth on the season as the Grizzlies wrapped up Pacific Conference play - finishing fourth.
