Youth Baseball: Lacamas Wins vs. Lacamas!

It was inevitable here with youth baseball. Lacamas was going to win today at Evergreen.

The two 9-10 year-old All-Star teams (Red and Black) from Lacamas Little League went head-to-head Saturday with the undefeated Lacamas Red winning the contest, 17-3 in four innings.

Lacamas Red came on strong at the top of the first, scoring seven runs. Lacamas Black responded back with two runs at the bottom of the inning.

Lacamas Red pitched Drew Ott the entire game, while Lacamas Black started with Lucas Barbier and closed with Cameron Smith.

The Lacamas Black team hit well, but the Lacamas Red defense responded in kind. Lacamas Red also had a dominate offense. By the end of the third inning, Lacamas Red had nearly 10-runned Black, and then sealed the deal by the bottom of the fourth.

The Lacamas Red win advances them to the District 4 Championship game on Sunday at 11 against old rival, East County. Elsewhere, the Lacamas Majors 11-12 team beat Fort Vancouver at Central Vancouver, 7-4. Lacamas Majors pitched Patrick Upkes, Wes Colvin, and Shane Jamison.

“We didn’t play that great, though,” said Brannan Meriwether.

The undefeated Lacamas Majors play again Sunday against Central Vancouver.
