What a day for Trevor Swartz. The Evergreen Baseball team’s No. 3 hitter went 3-for-4 with two extra-base hits, including a walk-off solo home run in the seventh to lift the Plainsmen to a 6-5 victory over Kelso in a battle of the 3A Greater St. Helens League’s lone undefeated teams. The Plainsmen now sit alone atop the 3A GSHL at 4-0 and 5-2 overall. Kelso falls to 3-1 in league. Swartz also picked up the victory in relief, tossing 11/3 innings, and also scored a pair of runs. Kelso tied it up 5-5 with a three-run sixth, in part because of two outfield errors by Evergreen.

The catch kept the game tied. In the next half inning, Swartz’s one-out walk-off homer extended Evergreen’s inning streak to four games. Josh Hibbard went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and Ryan Logan was 1-for-3 with three RBI for Evergreen.
