Cougars win four more
by Staci Beard
Staff Writer
The women’s softball team
completed a perfect week against
their league opponents.
On Wednesday the Cougars
split a double header with non­
league with Lower Columbia. The
first game was lost by a 4-2score in
ten innings. The Cougars were
unable convert their hits into runs
they needed.
“We had errors that directly
contributed to each run that they
scored,” commented Coach Paul
Fiskum, “but our head was in the
game at all time.”
The team showed determina­
tion in coming back and taking
the victory in a close 3-2 game.
The bats which went on vacation
the first game and collected only
four hits. They came back with
force in the second game racking
up eleven hits.
On Saturday the Cougars were
able to take an added day’s rest
because Tacoma was forced to
forfeit the games. Tacoma only
had nine healthy players when two
more were struck down with inju­
ries.
Yesterday afternoon the team
came up against South Puget
Sound, who earlier in the season
had given them their first league
defeat.
It only took until the second
inning before the first numbers
were put on the scoreboard. South
Puget Sound struck first with a
triple that turned into a home run
when a throwing error to third
was made.
Clackamas didn’t wait long to
put their own numbers up. Yvonne
Johnson got on base with an er­
ror. Johnson was then knocked in
by a double by Dionne Madigan.
It continued to be a dose game
until the Cougars broke it open in
the sixth. On one hit the Cougars
managed to get three runs pushed
across the plate.
The Cougars were just giving
South Puget Sound and the fans a
taste of what they could do.
They stormed out in the first
to score seven runs, five of them
courtesy of a one run home run by
Jennifer McElroy and a grand slam
byJohnson.
Cougars drop two

ball players continue to dig them­
selves a giant hole to make the

start, scoring the game’s first run.
But Linn-Benton went on to score
the next nine runs enroute to a 9-
1 victory in game one. TimAren-
dell was the losing pitcher and
