Fuel Wins West Linn Memorial Day Tourney

West Linn, Ore. — The Camas Fuel traveling baseball team won the West Linn Memorial Day Tournament Monday night at Fields Bridge Park.

The newly-formed Camas team (5-0 at the tournament), coached by Brendan Ford, Doug Williams, and Jeff Mansur, played West Linn in the championship game, and won 7-3.

With one out at the top of the sixth inning, Fuel’s third baseman Jack Latimer made a double play, tagging the runner out at third and then decisively threw the ball to second baseman, Camden Ford who got the final out.

Carson Williams pitched five successful innings and Josh Mansur closed for the Fuel. The team consists of local baseball players, several of whom have played together since T-ball and Pee Wee days.

“The boys all played well together,” said Brendan Ford. “They all know how to play their positions, and we moved the kids around during the tournament. We had a great weekend. It was fun and we’re real proud of the kids.”

Doug Williams concurred.

“These kids know the sport, and they’ve been coached well over the years,” said Williams. “It’s a great group of kids.”
