Good morning, Hillsboro.

The Portland metro area's unemployment rate stayed at 5.1% in February, with 6,900 jobs lost across most sectors (except for health care) according to the Oregon Employment Department; a regional economist noted the decline fits a broader national trend.

High school baseball and softball games Monday featured standout plays as Sunset’s Noah Gaibler went 2-for-2 with two doubles and Sherwood’s Alex Lopez struck out eight in a five-inning shutout, while Mountainside’s Olivia Patterson homered in a win over Jesuit — performances that energize local teams for upcoming contests.

Oregon State baseball fans have raised over $22,000 for pitcher Tyler Bellerose after his serious car accident on April 13.

A Dugout Club member launched the fundraiser Tuesday to meet a $50,000 goal to cover his treatment costs (Bellerose is coping with a traumatic brain injury and neck swelling).
