LEGION BASEBALLCamas Prairie 15-17, L-C Cubs 1-7

The Zephyrs swept an American Legion doubleheader against the Cubs at Harris Field.

“Our defense was lacking communication and missing the fundamentals of the game from the very start,” L-C coach Kent Knigge said. “We just got outplayed.”

In the opener, Willis Williamson had three hits, including a double, two runs scored and three RBI for the Camas Prairie (5-1). Tori Ebert scored three times and had four RBI. Brayden Turcott had three runs scored, and Blake Schoo and Gannon Garman each scored twice.

Schoo allowed two hits, four walks and one unearned run in four innings to pick up the win.

Wyett Lopez had two of the Cubs’ three hits and scored their lone run in the third inning.

Levi Johnson allowed seven hits, four walks and nine runs, three earned, in four innings to take the loss. He struck out one.

Game 2 was closer until Camas Prairie, up 8-7, tallied nine runs in the final two innings.

“In the second game we played well,” Knigge said. “Camas is an experienced club and it was like a shooting gallery out there.”

Garman had four hits, including two doubles, and seven RBI to lead the Zephyrs. Dane Lindsley and Reece Wimer each had two hits and three runs scored.

Sam Lindsley picked up the win, allowing three hits, three walks and three runs in the first three innings. He struck out five.

Gavin Ells was 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored for the Cubs (3-7). Tyler Granlund also had two hits.

Hayden Line took the loss, allowing six hits, three walks and eight runs, four earned, in 4ž innings. He struck out three.

The Cubs next play at 4 p.m. Monday at home in a doubleheader against Northern Lakes. The Zephyrs next play at 4 p.m. June 24 against West Valley in the Clancy Ellis tournament at Harris Field.
