CORVALLIS — One odd run was all that separated the Union softball team from potential back-to-back state titles.

The 2009 OSAA class 2A/1A state softball championships was anything but pretty. A combination of the weather, a muddy field and a game that featured a total of six hits led to Irrigon capturing its school’s first team title in any sport.

The Knights (19-8) defeated the 19-7 Bobcats 1-0 off a run in the first inning. Irrigon High School, which opened its doors in 2005, completed an unbelievable run in the state tournament after finishing third in its league.
