Trojan's Snap #1 LC's 52-Game Win Streak

Longview, WA - The Everett Trojans took on two of the NWAC's elite programs over the weekend, squaring off with No. 8-ranked Clackamas on Friday before traveling to face top-ranked Lower Columbia on Saturday. While the road trip featured tough losses, it also delivered a historic moment as the Trojans snapped Lower Columbia's 52-game winning streak — a run that dated back to last season when the Red Devils went 48-0 and defeated Everett in the NWAC Championship.

For a young Trojan roster, the weekend was about more than wins and losses — it was about growth, resilience, and redemption.

Game 1 vs. Clackamas – L, 11-3 (5 innings)

Clackamas struck early with five runs in the second and five more in the third to build an 10-0 advantage. The Trojans showed fight in the fifth, plating three runs to avoid the shutout.

Everett finished with six hits and four walks.

• Renee Riggins doubled and drove in a run.

• Kylee Horan added a double.

• Lilyana Balgos and Leneyah Mitchell each recorded an RBI.

• Karlee-Rose Keale provided two strong innings in relief, striking out three.

Game 2 vs. Clackamas – L, 8-7

The second game turned into a back-and-forth battle, with Everett matching Clackamas' offense hit for hit and nearly completing the comeback.

Trailing 3-0 early, the Trojans erupted for four runs in the third inning, and a two-run home run tied the game in the 7th.

• Leneyah Mitchell: 3-for-3 with a double, triple, RBI, and three runs scored.

• Kelsie Jensen: 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI.

• Kendall Pahl: Two-run home run in the seventh that pulled Everett within one.

• Karlee-Rose Keale: 2-for-4 with an RBI in addition to throwing 122 pitches in the circle.

Game 3 vs. Lower Columbia – W, 4-3

Trojans Snap 52-Game Win Streak

Saturday brought a statement victory.

Facing the No. 1-ranked Red Devils — who had not lost since the 2024 NWAC Tournament — Everett delivered a composed, complete performance to earn a 4-3 win and end the 52-game winning streak.

The Trojans tallied nine hits and played error-free defense.

Offensive leaders included:

• Renee Riggins: 2-for-4 with an RBI and stolen base.

• Leneyah Mitchell: 2-for-4 with an RBI.

• Kendall Pahl: 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk.

• Amanda Webb: RBI single in the second.

• Makenna McNutt: Scored twice.

In the circle, Monroe Dalrymple went 5.2 strong innings, allowing three runs while striking out six. Karlee-Rose Keale shut the door with 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win.

Game 4 vs. Lower Columbia – L, 5-0

The Red Devils responded in the finale, holding Everett to three hits.

• Lilyana Balgos led the offense with two hits, including a double, and a stolen base.

• Kendall Pahl added a hit and a stolen base.

• Karlee-Rose Keale battled through five innings, allowing five runs (three earned).

This weekend was about more than the final scores. Everett went toe-to-toe with two ranked teams, pushed No. 8 Clackamas to the brink, and handed No. 1 Lower Columbia its first loss in 52 games — a statement that this young Trojan squad is growing quickly.

With freshmen gaining critical innings and high-pressure at-bats, the experience from this road trip will pay dividends as the season progresses. The resilience, competitive edge, and belief built in Longview could become a turning point for this group.

Everett will see their next action in Pasco next weekend at the NWAC inter-region tournament where they will face more quality competition beginning with Clackamas again, #10 Chemeketa, #4 Southwestern Oregon, and closing with a strong Treasure Valley team that is 5-3 on the season with wins over both Clackamas and Chemeketa. First pitch on March 6th will be at 1:00pm against Clackamas.
