Power surged across the PNW summer collegiate landscape on a night filled with multi-homer explosions and clutch pitching. Malachi Noet and Bo Stinson each launched two home runs, while Kai Mault delivered a four-hit, four-RBI masterclass to anchor Portland’s big offensive night. On the mound, Mitch Haythorn carved through seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts, and several arms turned in dominant relief outings. Tight, back-and-forth battles — including Port Angeles’ 2-1 thriller and DubSea’s wild 9-8 victory — added plenty of drama to another summer evening of baseball.
