Tyler Purkeypyle’s return from heart surgery inspires his teammates

With heart and hustle, Camas-Washougal Granite Construction is going to the Northwest Regional Babe Ruth Championship Tournament, for 16- to 18-year-olds, in Kent, Wash.

“I hope this means something because we are representing the community, and our hats say Camas and Washougal on them,” said manager Scott Purkeypyle. “I just want these guys to make the plays they’re supposed to make, and to never get out-hustled. That’s the one side of the game we can always win.”
