La Salle Prep's offense exploded for 12 runs as the Falcons handed Hillsboro softball a decisive 12-4 defeat Friday evening at home. The loss drops the Spartans to 9-15 overall and 6-10 in Northwest Oregon Conference (5A) play as they wrap up their regular season in Hillsboro, Oregon.

The visiting Falcons took control early and never looked back, building a commanding lead that proved insurmountable for Hillsboro. Despite managing four runs, the Spartans couldn't match La Salle Prep's offensive production throughout the contest.

The defeat caps a challenging campaign for Hillsboro, which battled through adversity all season long. Head coach and players showed resilience despite the lopsided final score, competing until the final out in front of their home crowd.
