CHENEY STADIUM, Wash. — Southwest Washington baseball programs are red hot right now, as the Showtime 16U Junior Prep team just won the USSSA State Championship Tuesday against Crimson Rock.
The intense game, held at the newly renovated minor league park, was a close one, as the local Showtime boys edged out the competition, 6-5.
“Well, we faced some pretty good pitching with guys throwing in the mid 80’s but we got our timing down and eventually hit him well,” said Showtime player Jace Bolton. “It was pretty amazing! The feeling after getting the last out was indescribable. Kordell Vasbinder threw all seven innings for us [about 100 pitches].”
The visiting Showtime boys earned six runs on five hits, “and it came down to the wire,” said fan Vicki Lee. “They had runners on 2nd and 3rd when we got them to fly out to left field. It was an amazing experience. The boys got rings and this giant trophy and the facility was absolutely beautiful. I don’t think any of them will forget this for a very long time. I know I won’t.”
The intense game wasn’t without incident, either. Showtime player Jackson Wagner was hit in the face by a fastball early in the game. He’s being treated and is expected to recover.
The Showtime boys play in a couple more tournaments before winding down the season.

Both teams entered tonight’s game undefeated, and players, coaches, and fans alike expected a close, low-scoring game. And that’s just what they got.
The Camas boys have been used to racking up runs during this weeklong tournament, but knew more adversity would come their way. Evergreen played well and had a strong defense, and likewise for Camas.
But, the Camas bats were a bit stronger Tuesday night – and that’s what made the difference. It was also Camas Little League’s second District title in as many days (the 9/10 All-Star’s won their championship Monday night).
The game was scoreless until the fourth inning when Carson Williams hit a single and started working his way home. He would score their first run, and would quickly be followed by pitcher Shane Jamison.
Ryan Behnke pitched the entire game (under 65 pitches) for Camas and only allowed a few hits. His solid pitching gave Evergreen fits throughout the entire game.
With two outs at the bottom of the sixth, Evergreen hit one deep into left field foul territory, and Joey Schnell made an amazing catch as he hit the fence and ended the game, sealing the Camas victory. It was the first time in years that an 11/12 team from Camas has won the District title.
“This feels so great!” said Jamison, who along with Behnke, Williams and Christian Geigenmiller, have been working on winning a District title since 2010, which was their first year of All-Star eligibility.
Most of the team has played together in post-season since 2011, and have placed second two years in a row.
“It was our time,” said Camden Ford, who experienced his third season as an All-Star.
Manager Doug Williams said “the boys played with heart and they really wanted to win this.”
Williams, Brendan Ford, and Jeff Mansur have been coaching this team since June 16, and now look forward to opening day at the Washington State Tournament, which begins this Saturday.

The Camas Little League 9/10 All-Stars clinched their divisions District Championship and are now headed to State competition.
The tournament, which was hosted by Fort Vancouver Little League, began last week, and the Camas All-Stars won four of their five games. Coached by John Blair, Barry Smith, and Brian Sanville, the boys have been practicing since June 16, a day after the regular season ended.
Zachariah Shaw started for Camas, and he pitched four innings. Jake Blair closed, and got himself out a tight bind as bases were loaded late in the game. The Camas defense looked solid, and the boys came to hit — and hit they did.
“We’re super excited,” said Braden Sanville, one of the team’s players.
A large portion of the Camas Little League was in attendance to support their boys.
The District title earns the team the opportunity to play at the Washington State Little League tournament, which will be at Oak Harbor, in northern Washington.
John Blair was one of the coaches from last year’s winning 9/10 All-Star team.
