LEWISTON, Idaho — Cade Cameron went 3-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs as the Lewis and Clark Cubs defeated the Kalispell A Lakers Thursday at the Palouse Summer Series.

The Cubs took control in the sixth as Cameron hit an RBI double that capped off a five-run frame that made it 7-3.

Next inning, Slater Kuther hit a two-run single to spark another big inning. This time six Lewis and Clark (17-4) runners crossed the plate, extending the advantage to 13-3.
