Beaverton rallied from a 3-run deficit, took its first lead in the top of the last inning, and then closed out the game in a driving rainstorm beating the Newberg Tigers 5-4 in 6 innings. The win evened Beaverton's record at 1-1, following the 7-3 loss at Forest Grove on Wednesday.
Kayla Lauro's 2nd-inning home run over the center field fence was the only scoring for the Beavers early, who finally got to Newberg pitcher Casey Bearden late in the game. Beaverton trailed twice - 1-0 before Lauro's homer - and 4-1 before rallying for 3 runs in the 5th and the game-winner in the 6th. Molly Tyler started on the mound for Beaverton and Megen Ickler came on in late-game relief and got the win as the team's offense got untracked.
The teams work together to cover the field. The game was delayed about 30 minutes during this rain event.
The Beavers now travel to Central Oregon for six games in three days, assuming it doesn't snow :).
