PREP SOFTBALL
Aberdeen 3, W.F. West 0
Aberdeen ace Lilly Camp had one of the finer games of her prep career, pitching a one-hitter in a 3-0 victory over W.F. West on Friday at Recreation Park in Chehalis.
The Bobcats (8-2 overall, 4-1 2A Evergreen) and Bearcats (8-3, 3-1) were locked into a scoreless tie through four innings until Aberdeen shortstop Zoe Vessey blasted a three-run home run with two outs in the top of the fifth inning.
That was all the run support Camp would need as the junior right-hander threw 6 1-3 innings of no-hit softball until a Kenley Fragner singled in the bottom of the seventh.
Camp struck out the final two batters she faced to give Aberdeen the victory and a half-game lead ahead of W.F. West for second place in the 2A Evergreen Conference.
Vessey, Britten Neal, Alyssa Yakovich and Annika Hollingsworth had one hit apiece for the Bobcats.
Aberdeen plays at W.F. West at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
