BEAVERTON — Meeting for the first time since their championship game on the basketball court, Valley Catholic gained a slight measure of revenge Tuesday on the baseball diamond.
Seaside out-hit the Valiants, but Valley Catholic outscored the Gulls, 4-3, in the Cowapa League season opener in Beaverton.
All seven runs were scored in the first three innings, which included a 2-2 tie after the first.
Valley Catholic starter William Schultheis got the win, but it was Valiant reliever Porter Agnew who held the Gulls scoreless over the final four innings to earn the save.
Leadoff batter Gage McFadden had three of Seaside’s six hits, while Duncan Thompson had a double and drove in three runs.
On the mound, Thompson and Payton Westerholm held the Valiants to just four hits, which included a pair of doubles for Agnew.
