The Portland Barbers looked awful comfortable in Billings at Dehler Park this weekend, as they won the program’s first ever Northwest Regional title on Sunday afternoon. The Barbers are in their 15 th season.
“"We've seen the ball all year. We're hitting .371 as a team. We broke a team record for team batting average," said Portland head coach Joe Duran. "We have some really talented players and we've been seeing the ball well all year long. That's been our strength. Wherever we play, whoever we play against, we're the most offensive team."
The Barbers had to do it the hard way, though, as they lost the tournament’s opening game to Yakima, Washington. Portland then won five consecutive games, including two against Idaho Falls on Sunday, scoring double digits in each contest.
