By Mark McNeary
Of The Print
In six games last week the
Clackamas Baseball team
picked up three wins, including
two in league, while finally
showing an ability to slug the
ball.
On Wednesday CCC swept
a double-header from visiting
Blue Mountain Community
College, then took off for Mt.
Hood where they split. Satur
day the Cougars dropped a
twin-bill to first place Linn-
Benton Community College.
Against Blue Mountain
Clackamas used the two-hit
pitching of Dave Coghill and
the one-hit pitching of Mike
Colka to pin down the wins. In
the first game Coghill |iad a no-
hitter going into the seventh but
then gave up two straight hits
and a few walks as Blue Moun
tain got all four of their runs in
that inning. It wasn’t enough
however as Clackamas won 8-
4.
The Cougars got five of their
runs in the second on six
straight hits,. three straight
doubles by Grady Gassner,
Don Meyers and Jeff McCall
and then two singles by Monty
Zwicker and Brad Lehrer. Kelly
Sutton finished off the rally
with a double. McCall hit a solo
homer in the third to extend
the Cougars to a 6-0 lead.
CCC got one in the fourth and
fifth to finish off the scoring.
On the mound Coghill struck
out nine batters while giving up
five walks.
In the second game Colka
whiffed five and walked two in
gaining the shutout win 4-0.
Clackamas got all four of their
tallies in the fifth inning
highlighted by a two run double
by Kevin Barry.
Barry put on a torrid hitting
performance Thursday at Mt.
Hood as he doubled, tripled
and homered in the first game
and then hit a three-run homer
in the second contest.
Clackamas knocked off the
host team in game one 6-4 but
was unable to pull it out in the
second losing 11-8. In the fifth
inning of the first game Gassner
came in with the score 6-4 and
two outs to relieve Sutton who
had relieved starter Jim
Schriber. With two men on
base Gassner walked the first
batter he faced and then fan
ned the next to end the inning.
In the last two innings Gassner
pitched flawlessly to pick up the
win.
Benton then scored one! mol
in the third to extend theirH
to 9-0. CCC got all five ofl
scores in the fifth but it was|
enough as they fell 9-5. Rd

It may rain a bit in Oregon
but the sun shines bright for the
CCC men’s tennis team. The
Cougars were all but perfect in
matches last week, downing
Chemeketa Community 8-1 in
the league opener on Thursday
and coming back on Friday to
gain a non-conference win
over Concordia by the iden
tical score.
In Thursday’s match, the
Cougs were {faced by the out
standing play of number-one
man Tim Qualls and also
received a valiant effort from
number-two man Dave Long.
Qualls defeated Ted Lindquist,
who is the highest returning
finisher from the region. Qualls
