This Day In History
April 22, 2007: Trevor May comes one punchout shy of matching Jason Schmidt’s Kelso single-game record, finishing with 19 in a complete-game four-hitter to lead the Hilanders to an 8-4 win over Camas.
“It was one of the single most dominating pitching performances I’ve seen in 18 years,” Kelso coach Scott Meeker said. “It was an amazing performance. He had three pitches that were just dancing out there.”
Two of the four runs May allowed were earned, but the Hilanders still trailed 4-1 going into the fifth, before Matt Parsons hit a two-run double to close the gap to one. Walks to Jammer Free and Blair Johnson kept the inning going, before Tal Bartell came off the bench to deliver a pinch-hit 2-RBI single that put the Hilanders ahead.
