base.”

Cougars run up six game winning streak
by Mark Borrelli
Staff Writer_____________ ._______ ■
The red hot Clackamas men’s
baseball team will try to keep
their four game winning streak
when they host league
leading Linn Benton Tuesday
and Lane Saturday.
The 5-3 Cougars have won
their last four league games, ail
at home. Their latest assault
came against Mt. Hood here
Saturday.
In the first game, Clackamas
played like a homerun derby
getting homeruns from Rob
Kirkpatrick, David Horine, and
Dino Fiarito. The team came
out hot, blasting two first inn­
ing dingers to left field. The
homerun barrage wasn’t quite
over as the Cougars added
another in the second inning
and coasted to a 4-3 victory.
Jim Burnette picked up the win
in the first game and Jay Prall
got the save. “Their kid came
out and tried to challenge us
with fastballs in the first inning
and we hit him hard,” explain­
ed coach Paul Roeder. “After
those first couple of innings, he
settled down, and really didn’t
show us many fastballs.”
The second game saw a offen­
sive battle that Clackamas won,
scoring a 15-9 victory with Ron
Edwards grabbing the win and
Pat Hardy picking up the save.
“We really hammered them in
the second game, but we pitched
dumb to allow them to score
that many runs. They scored six
runs that they shouldn’t have.”
Leading the hitting barrage
for the Cougars are Bryan
Dodge and Dino Fiarito, both
batting a steaming .355. Quintin
Putnam is close behind with a
.349 average and David Horine
batting .317. Horine is tied with

it takes to overtake Linn-Bente
in the last 16 games, if his tear
can stay healthy.
