The Trojans traveled south to Longview last weekend with the intent to play four games against the Lower Columbia Red Devils. Things did not go according to plan.

Head Coach Keith Hessler’s team lost the first two games of the series on Saturday, March 2 by scores of 7-3 and 10-9. The latter was an especially difficult loss, with Everett having lead 9-1 at one point before Lower Columbia’s Wren Cecil delivered a walk off knock in the ninth.

Sunday’s games were canceled due to snow and will not be made up.

The Trojans head home to face Yakima for one game and Grays Harbor for three starting at noon on Saturday, March 9.

What is your dream job? My ultimate dream job would be to work as an analytical sportswriter for MLB.com or FanGraphs, breaking down aspects of baseball and sharing my passion for the game with others. It would also be awesome if I could somehow work my way into a front office job with an MLB organization. When you aren't doing things for the Clipper, what can you be found doing? Away from the Clipper, I can often be found reading or watching anything baseball-related that I can find. Otherwise, I might be spending time with friends, playing with my dog Cashmere, or reading about history. And sleeping. Lots of sleeping. Which historical or fictitious figure do you most identify with?  The fictitious figure I like to identify with is Steve Harrington from Stranger Things. I may not always be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I have my moments, and I'm protective of those I care about and I'm there for them when it counts.
