The 1982 baseball season
came to a merciful end for the
Clackamas Community Cdl-
lege team last Friday when the
Cougs lost both games of a
league double header with
Lane Community College on
Lane’s home field in Eugene.
The men lost the first game 7-1
and the second, 10-3.
Lane scored two runs in
the second and sixth innings
and three in the fifth to take the
easy win. The Cougars were
outhit 8-3 for the game. Kirk
Bradley took the loss for the
Cougars.
In the second game, the'
Cougar pitchers were bombed
for 10 runs on 15 hits as
Clackamas absorbed a 10-3
loss. Clay Baggerly was the los
ing pitcher.’

Wednesday, May 19, 1982
dominated the meet with 17
matches won. The nearest
competition won only seven
matches.
The team was made up of
nine players.
“Bonnie (Dillman) is a
returning player,” Michael ex
plained. “She played number
three for us last year and mov
ed up to number one this year,
and was a strong number one.
She really improved.
“Michelle Wilkins has seen
a tremendous amount of im
provement as pointed out by
her high school coach,”
Michael stated. “After watching
her play one of the guys here
one afternoon, she said that
Michelle had improved quite a
bit.
“She really worked hard
to adjust to the doubles game,”
Michael continued. She had
only played singles before and
it takes quite an adjustment.
“Mary (Imper) is the scrap
per of the group/’ Michael
said. “She played a lot of split
sets and a lot of close matches
this year and never gave up.
“Lori (Dosier) was a very
pleasant surprise when she
showed up winter term, She
had played both singles and
doubles before. She was really
pushed by Kim Lucas to hang
on to the Number four spot.”
“Lucas improved a great
deal. She took ill near the end
of the season which unfor
tunately kept her from finishing
well, but she had a -good
season.
“Lisa Spalding played
both singles and doubles for us
and I hope she returns. She’s a
good team player. I’m sure that
given another year, she would
be a greater asset.
“Sharon Bergstrom was
probably the strongest hitter on
the team,” she said. “She
needs a little more time to gain
some consistency. Toward the
end of the season, her con
sistency really improved.
About Margerett Bierma
Michael said, “I’ve been able to
see a lot of progress in her abili
ty. She came through my ten
nis classes starting at beginning —
last year. Given a little ex
perience and time, she will
definitely be a better tennis
player.”
