Camas-Washougal misses out on Babe Ruth semifinal

The Camas-Washougal 13- to 15-year-old Babe Ruth all-stars loaded the bases with two outs in the last inning Saturday, but couldn’t come through with the clutch hit it needed to stay alive in the Pacific Northwest Regional tournament at Louis Bloch Park, in Camas.

“I’m proud of the way the boys played. They played their hearts out,” said manager Brendan Ford. “A few things didn’t go our way. If they had, it could have been a different result. But the boys kept their heads up, and I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
