Now this is the kind of victory the Camas softball players have been craving.
After handling Union 9-0 and Columbia River 9-1 earlier in the week, the Papermakers stood victorious over the stingy Prairie Falcons 10-9 after an eight-inning slugfest that nearly eclipsed the four-hour mark.
Mikaela Searight served a lead off single into left field, and Erin Tauscher reached base on a well-placed bunt. Sarah Nidick delivered the knockout blow with a deep drive to left that almost left the yard. It hit the top of the fence, but the Papermakers were already running out of the dugout to celebrate.
