Camas Little League Opening Day is Monday, April 8th.
Games begin at 5 pm at Forest Home Park and 5:30 Liberty softball fields. Games continue at 7:15 pm.
Both Camas Varsity and JV teams fell to Union Friday night, but it was a tale of two very different games.
Varsity held a 2-1 lead over Union until it fell apart in the fifth inning with some great hits and offensive plays by Union. By the bottom of the fifth, Union had a 6-2 lead over the Papermakers and extended that lead to 9 by game’s end.
The JV game was different. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning thanks to some stellar pitching on both sides. Camas’ Sean McClanahan held Union and was backed up by a solid Papermaker defense. Offensively, Camas made some great plays with Brennan Dyehouse sending one out deep to center. It would have been a double but Dyehouse was sent to third and then tagged out. Nick Murawski also had some great contact Friday night, but was fielded out.
Then things changed in the bottom of the fourth. Sam Jones got a base hit, stole second and made his was to third base. Sophomore Jace Bolton then sent one into right field for an RBI as Jones scored. Bolton was fielded out, but helped put a run on the board.
At the top of the fifth, McClanahan was starting to show signs of fatigue, but his team held off Union.
At the bottom of the fifth, Urbano Zea hit the ball deep into centerfield, but it was caught. Then Chase Gallagher hit one out to center for a double. Dyehouse advanced the runner but fielded out.
Jones relieved McClanahan with bases loaded and struck out a batter and then made an excellent play at home to prevent Union from scoring. Offensively, Camas wasn’t able to score again, but made a solid effort.
Then the game turned.
Union scored to tie the game at the top of seven. Then the next batter hit a double, who was advanced by the next hit to score. It was 2-1 Union.
Although the Papermakers fought back, it wasn’t enough. Union won.

Camas Rugby, aka Camas Mean Machine, starts their match at noon on Saturday at the Liberty Middle School fields.
And Camas LAX competes with Richland at 2:30 at Doc Harris Stadium. This will be their third game of the season.
Camas Lacrosse (1-1) opened its second game of the season on a cold, windy Wednesday night at Doc Harris Stadium aggressively with four shots early in the first quarter.
The shots weren’t going in and Camas quickly looked frustrated – until Midfielder Bradley Stanchfield (#21) made the first goal of the game, with an assist by fellow Midfielder Mason McCracken (#20).
An aggressive drive by Camas Midfielder Bryce Tabbut (#12) resulted in the second goal of the night, putting Camas ahead 2-0. Union’s Gunnar Drell responded with a goal at the end of the first quarter. It was 2-1 Camas with 12 minutes into the game.
Union’s #34 tied it up 2-2 with a goal in the middle of the second quarter, and Camas looked surprised.
Tabbut was on fire again and made a coast-to-coast drive up the field, sending the ball to Camas Attackman Chris Awwad (#6), who immediately scored, taking Union by surprise. That put Camas up 3-2.
Union quickly responded with a goal of their own, tripping up the Camas defense, tying up the game once again. It seemed Camas lost some of their momentum as Union kept the pressure up.
Union’s #2 scored their fourth goal of the night, putting them ahead of Camas by 1. Union continued to pressure the Camas boys and made another goal by half time. The score was 5-3 Union at the half.
Camas was frustrated.
During the halftime, two of the Southwest Lacrosse U13 teams participated in a scrimmage while Camas plotted its way back. Coach Jim Avino spent time with the offense to ensure plays were understood.
Camas Attackman Austin Garwood (#1) quickly turned his team’s frustrations into jubilation as he moved the ball quickly down the field and scored his team’s fourth goal of the night, bringing the score to 5-4 Union. Even though Garwood’s play was executed well, Camas still struggled somewhat as Union scored another goal, putting them two ahead. It was 6-4 Union.

Camas regained its momentum by the fourth quarter when things got really interesting. Stanchfield scored his second goal of the night, putting Camas within one of tying the game.
An aggressive Tabbut quickly put another one on the board, tying the game at 6-6. The crowd was jubilant and the Camas boys wanted more.
As the clock ticked away, the intensity and tension on the sidelines was palatable. Camas goalie Ollie Stanchfield (#17), while still recovering from a concussion sustained during Friday’s season opener, was nonetheless leading his team, and was encouraging them to let go of mistakes. He wanted them to keep looking forward.
Camas wanted another goal, and made some amazing attempts, but with just three minutes left on the clock, Union got the game’s seventh goal.
Tabbut, Garwood and others made some really close shots trying to even the score – and then with just 60 seconds left, the skies sent hail down on Doc Harris, frustrating the cold players even more. They didn’t give up, but by game’s end it wasn’t enough to overcome archrival Union.
There will be another day.
Camas LAX plays again this Saturday, March 23 at Doc Harris. Game time is 2:30. Come support the boys and learn more about the game that’s taking Camas by storm.
