Camas Freshmen Baseball Beats Columbia River

Vancouver, WA — The Camas Freshman baseball team got their new season off to a great start on Friday night, beating Columbia River, 8-1.

The 18-member team, which is coached by Zak Webb, got an early lead, thanks to some walks and hits by the starting lineup: Damon Gilmore, Grant Heiser, Shane Jamison, Brogan Layne, Luke Brewer, Caden Wengler, Jacob Trupp, Camden Ford, and Joey Schnell.

Brewer pitched the majority of the game for the Papermakers, and was relieved in the sixth inning by Jake Taylor. In the third inning, Carson Farra, Christian Geigenmiller, and Taylor entered the game.

“It was a great way to start off the season,” said Thea Jamison, of the parents. “Many of these kids have been playing ball competitively since they were very young, at Camas Little League.”

Geigenmiller said that’s one reason the team works well together, as they’ve been playing the game since T-ball or Pee-Wee division at the local little league.

“We just know how to work well with each other,” he said.

The team plays game two of the season this coming Tuesday at 4 at Battle Ground.
