The Lions lead late, but the Wildcats break through to win in Friday's sixth inning

---

The West Linn baseball team did almost everything it needed to do.

The Lions, playing at top-ranked Westview in the Class 6A state quarterfinals on Friday, scored first, boosted their lead late and pushed the Wildcats to the wall.

But Westview tied the game in the bottom of the fifth inning, then scored four times in the sixth to beat the Lions 5-3.
