     Okanogan High School’s softball team prepared for post-season play by pasting Lake Roosevelt 15-1 and 15-4 in games shortened to five innings May 3.
     The Bulldogs (4-10, 7-13), who finished sixth in league play after being swept by Cascade (7-1, 11-1) April 30, were scheduled to open district at third place Cashmere at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 6.
     “We’re happy we made it to district,” said coach Brad McGaha. “When you make it to this point anything can happen. Maybe we can get on a roll and do some damage.”
     In the regular season, Cashmere (9-5, 11-8) edged Okanogan in the regular season 5-4 and 5-4.
     In the first game against the Raiders, Tanna Meagher was on her game, striking out seven, walking one and allowing one run on three hits.
     She was backed up with a strong defensive effort.
     Quincee Heindselman turned an unassisted double play - catching a line drive at first and stepping on the bag to get a runner. She also pulled down a high throw to keep a runner from advancing, reported McGaha.
