The Cascade Little League Yankees, of Vancouver, take on the East County Little League Squirrels, of Washougal, Saturday, Sept. 15, at Schmid Field #2, in Washougal. Sometimes the Squirrels play under the lights at Forest Home Park, in Camas. There is potential state funding to add lights at Schmid.

A new baseball field, restrooms and lighting at Washougal’s George J. Schmid Memorial Fields, in Washougal, are included in the city’s proposed 2019 budget.

The project is ranked high enough to receive funding in the amount of $350,000 from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) grant program, and the city has applied for $500,000 from the Washington Wildlife Recreation Program.
