The Cougars scored five
runs in the first inning last
Saturday and Brett Wolfe toss­

blanked Blue Mountain 6-0 in
the first game of the league

the Cougs won 14-13 in an
eight-inning slug-fest. Clay
Baggerly hit a thrêe-run homer
in the second inning to help
lead thé Cougar offense.
Clackamas split a non­
league double header with Lin-
field last Thursday 8-6, 6-8.
In league action with
Chemeketa last Wednesday,
the men blew a 3-0 second-
inning lead and gave the chiefs
an 8-7 gift. Jamie Gipaya had a
fine game with 5 RBI’s.
In the second game with
the Chiefs, Russ Young pitch­
ed a seven-hitter as the
Cougars took an easy 9-2 win.
The team traveled to
Albany Tuesday for a double­
