Cascade Wins 10-11 District Championship; Lacamas Majors 10-11 Team Places 2nd in All-Star Tournament
Lacamas made contact with the ball and had some great hits, but couldn’t overcome Cascade’s tight infield. Lacamas also struck out more than usual.
Christian Geigenmiller returned to the mound after being on the injured list from Sunday’s line drive hit to the head. Visiting Lacamas was three up, three down at the top of the first, while Cascade scored three by the bottom of the first inning. The Lacamas defense made some errors, but also fielded two outs at first, and struck out one batter.
The Lacamas bats didn’t get very far, and by the top of the fourth Cascade was ahead 6-0.
The Lacamas bats came alive in the fourth inning, as Carson Williams hit a double and Rylan Marshall hit a single (he also brought Williams home), to make the score 6-1. Grant Heiser also hit a single and advanced Marshall. Jimmy Peebles made good contact.
Williams relieved Geigenmiller after three innings, and closed the game. He struck out several Cascade batters, and the Lacamas defense held them.
Luke Brewer and Josh McPhun hit singles, but weren’t able to advance and score.
“I feel proud of the boys,” said Manager Doug Williams. “They played hard and we had a good run. We only had eight days to gel as a team before the tournament started and we had a good, respective showing.”
Coach Brendan Ford said the tournament was “a lot of fun!”
Grant Heiser said he was glad to be voted onto the team, and looks forward to next year.
