Aberdeen 7, Black Hills 0

Lilly Camp’s dominant season continues as the Aberdeen star pitcher tossed her second no-hitter of the season in a 7-0 win over Black Hills on Friday at the Bishop Athletic Complex in Aberdeen.

Camp allowed just two walks and struck out 12 in recording her first seven-inning no-hitter since a 9-0 win over 4A Kentwood on March 18.

Camp was sharp, throwing 58 strikes out of 86 pitches and retired the first 13 Wolves she faced until Black Hills pitcher Ella Goheen reached base with a one-out walk in the top of the fifth inning.

The Bobcats right-hander allowed a walk to Kailey Miller with two outs in the seventh before completing the no-hitter on a comebacker by Madi Malone.

Aberdeen third baseman Ally Adams got the Bobcats on the board with an RBI single in the bottom of the second.

The Cats gave Camp a 4-0 cushion with three runs in the third on run-scoring singles by first baseman Maysinn Jones and Adams followed by an RBI ground out by center fielder Rylee Hendrickson.

Adams and catcher Brooklyn Neal had three hits apiece to lead a Bobcats offense that had eight different players collect a base hit in the game.

Aberdeen faces W.F. West in a key league matchup at 4:30 p.m. on Monday at Recreation Park in Chehalis.

Montesano 4, Battle Ground 3

Montesano showed its depth as reserves figured prominently in a 4-3 victory over Battle Ground on Friday at Dick Tagman Field in Montesano.

The Bulldogs (6-3) and 4A-class Tigers (2-5-1) were tied at 3-3 in extra innings where Montesano’s bench players came through in the clutch.

Monte’s Preslee Barrett came off the bench to leadoff the bottom of the eighth with a pinch-hit double down the left field line and was replaced by pinch-runner Ember Jones, who promptly stole third on a fake bunt attempt by Regan Wintrip.

With Jones representing the winning run and the Tigers defense pulled in, Wintrip laced a one-hop single to right field. Jones beat the throw home to secure Montesano’s walk-off victory.

Grace Gooding got Monte on the board with an RBI single in the bottom of the third.

The Bulldogs fell behind after Battle Ground scored on a bases-loaded walk and a wild pitch in the top of the fourth followed by third Tigers run crossing the plate on a wild pitch by freshman pitcher Violet Prince.

Monte tied the game in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI single by Kennedy Campbell and a run-scoring fielder’s choice ground ball off the bat of catcher Ali Parkin.

Prince continued to impress in the circle, allowing three runs – one earned – on four hits and five walks with 11 strikeouts in eight innings pitched.

“Overall a great team win,” Monte head coach Pat Pace said. “Several players came off the bench to contribute through the game.”

Montesano faces another tough non-league test when it hosts Pe Ell-Willapa Valley at 6 p.m. on Monday.
