Prep highlights: Skyview baseball rallies late to win

Tyler Howard broke up a tie game with a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh and Skyview added an insurance run on an error as the Storm remained undefeated in 4A/3A Greater St. Helens League play with a 4-2 victory at Battle Ground on Wednesday.

Skyview’s Caden Vire went five innings, allowing one run on four hits with 11 strikeouts and two walks.

The Tigers tied the game on Jack Hotchkiss’ two-out run-scoring single in the sixth.

Skyview’s Cade Reitzenstein set the Tigers down in order in the bottom of the seventh with a ground out and two strikeouts to seal the win.
