HS Baseball: Celebrating the league champions

May 6, 2019

The top four baseball teams in the Class 4A Greater St. Helens League all had signature wins this season. Halfway through the campaign, there was no clear-cut favorite.

Then Camas went on a roll.

“It’s been a grind to get there,” Camas coach Stephen Short said. “It feels fantastic, especially for the kids. The way we did it was exciting. We had to win four of our last five league games, including those two over Skyview. We had our backs against the wall.”

Now, it is Camas standing atop that wall. Read more... ClarkCounty.TODAY

Camas Baseball Clinches 4A GSHL Crown

4/29/19 - Battle Ground 4-3 W

Lead-off hitter Tyler Forner’s two-out single in the 11th inning scored Shane Jamison for Camas’ eventual game-winning run in its 4-3 win over Battle Ground in Monday’s 4A Greater St. Helens League baseball game.

The victory, coupled with Union’s win over Skyview on Monday, clinches the league title for the Papermakers with one regular-season game remaining Tuesday.

Trailing 3-1 in the seventh, Battle Ground tied the game by scoring two runs off a wild pitch and an error. Both teams remained scoreless until the 11th inning.

Jamison and Gideon Malychewski singled to lead off the inning before Forner’s single on a line drive to center field. Forner, Malychewski and Jamison each had two hits for Camas.

4/25/19 - Skyview 7-6 W

The Papermakers defeated Skyview 7-6 in dramatic fashion Thursday afternoon. In a game that saw the lead change five times, Jake Trupp delivered a walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the 7^th inning scoring Grant Heiser from first base. Heiser who finished 1 for 2 with a double, RBI, and 2 runs, drew a leadoff walk before eventually coming around to score the winning run.

The Papermaker’s used a balanced attack on offense with seven players collecting hits led by multi-hit days from Tyler Forner and Shane Jamison. Forner finished the game 2 for 4 with a triple and 2 RBI while Jamison scored 3 runs and finished 2 for 2.

Dante Humble was the star of the day in this game both on the mound and at the plate. Humble delivered 5.1 innings of relief holding the Storm to 4 hits and 1 earned run to earn the win. After taking over on the mound in the top of the 2^nd inning, Humble would deliver a much needed 2-run double cutting the Skyview lead to 3-2 and igniting the Papermaker’s offense.

The win moves the Papermakers atop the GSHL standings at 8-2 as they prepare for their final two league games next week versus Battle Ground.

4/24/19 - Skyview 4-3 W

For seven innings Wednesday, Skyview’s Ryan Pitts and Camas’ Riley Sinclair went to war.

A good old-fashioned pitchers’ duel featured 15 combined strikeouts and just 11 hits. Both had season-defining performances. Neither was rewarded with a result, as they left with zeroes on the scoreboard at Propstra Stadium.

Instead, the defense-first game was decided by the little things at the plate: sacrifice bunts, groundouts to move and score runners, drawing walks. After nine innings, Camas did a few more of those to earn a 4-3 decision over Skyview to move atop the 4A GSHL. The two teams meet again Thursday in a matchup that will likely decide the league crown. Read more The Columbian

Jacob Trupp saw the first pitch come over the top of the center of the plate, took a big cut and missed.

He then turned, looked back toward the Union catcher and said “throw another one.”

Two pitches later, they obliged.

“As soon as it hit my bat I knew,” Trupp said.

In the third at-bat of the game, Trupp sent a moon shot over the center field fence — a three-run home run — and Camas built on that early boost to beat Union 10-4 in a 4A Greater St. Helens League opener at Union High School on Friday.
