SPORTS Baseball splits week's action by Mark A. Borrelli Editor-in-Chief The Clackamas baseball team hit the road for a pair of double headers last week, and came home batting .500, sweep­ ing a pair at Clark, and drop­ ping two at league leading Linn- Benton. The Cougars outlasted the rain in the first of two at Clark on Tuesday 4-18. The rain didn’t cool off the Clackamas bats at all, as they stung Clark pitching for 13 hits, in route to a 8-5 victory. Blues Buckles started the game, and he combined with Tim Artendell to 7 hit the Pen­ guins. Game two of the twin bill saw the Cougars play even bet­ ter. Brady Miller started on the mound, and pitched masterful. Miller blanked Clark, leading 7-0, before the Penguins could muster any kind of offense, Clackamas had to settle for a 7- 3 win, and a sweep of the double header. Clackamas offensively showed a new look, as they hit and ran their way to the win. Clackamas stole six bases, in­ cluding three double steals, and executed the hit and runs per­ fectly four times. In the twin bill, Clackamas had a trio of hot hitters. Jeff Graham tallied 4-7, Jason Hawkins 4-9, and Jim Squires went 2-5, with three big RBI’s. “We really played well in the Clark double header, I was really pleased with our execu­ tion,” said Robinson. The Cougars got back on the road Saturday 4-21, and headed to Albany for a pair of games with league power Linn- Benton. Clackamas didn’t fare as well as the Clark series, drop­ ping both games. Clackamas entered the games with their best two pitch­ ers suffering some soreness in their pitching arms, and the Road runners took advantage of it. Don Nelson pitched the first game. Clackamas dropped the first game 13-3, and in a closer sec­ ond game lost 10-6. Offensive stars for Clackamas were Squires, 2-3; Tim Ensley, 4-8; Rob Van- Tassel 3-6, and Gage Campbell 2-3. Defensively, Tim Ensley played brilliantly, making four outstanding catches in the out­ field. The two losses dropped the Cougars to 5-15 and 2-7 in league. Despite the losses, Robinson remains optimistic. “‘We’re getting better,” said Robinson. “The thing that is hurting us is the errors. We’re not getting timely hitting, but we’re getting better. The team has a really good attitude,” said Robinson. The Cougars, weather per­ mitting, will host Lewis & Clark in a make up game tomorrow, and will be at Mt. Hood for a double header Saturday.

Arendell hopes his team­ mates consider him a role model. < “If I’m not playing, I’m keep­ ing everybody off the bench and making them talk,” he said. “When I come out to the field, I work: on or off the bench. I play to win.” • At least one person would agree with that assessment. “He wants the team to win as much as anyone,” said Robinson. “He’s working really hard for that” At Oregon City High School Arendell boasted a .999 earned run run average average and and had had ai an 8-1 win/ loss record. He was voted First Team All-League and Oregon City’s Most Valuable Player his senior year. He also pitched in the State-Metro All-Star Game. Arendell credits his success in baseball to one good coach, reading about technique and watch­ ing the game. “Until I met Robinson, I learned everything by myself by reading books and watching TV,” said ArendelL “Robby pointed out that screwing off doesn’t get you anywhere. He helped me realize my potential in how good of a baseball player I can be.” SPORT CENTER Russell Sweatpants or Crew Sweatshirts 10 Colors to choose from Reg. $14.99 With this ad NOW $12.99 RUSSELL ATHLETIC R #60 OREGON CITY SHOPPING CENTER ' OREGON CITY, OREGON 97045 PHONE (503) 656-0321 - Oregon WATS 1-800-452-6381 Tim Arendell one of the baseball teams best pitchers hopes to keep competing In baseball on the professional level.
