Kristi Northcutt went 3-4 while bringing in one RBL Troutner was also consistent going 2-3 and Molly Bremmer drove in one run while having a 2-3 day. Solid defense backed up Angie Baker as she spread nine hits in seven innings of work. “We played well all day Fri day, but Wenatchee was our best game. I was really happy with the way we played on Friday,” stated Fiskum. Saturday’s contest against Lower Columbia did not prove to be as successful but the Cougars did not go down without a fight. Twice, they came back from be hind but was on the wrong end of the score at the end of the seven innings in the 4-6 loss. After committing two errors that gave Lower Columbia a two run lead, Clackamas came back to lead 3-2, LC came back to tie. Clackamas went ahead 4-3 but were unable to produce anymore runs.

Jenny Wimberly, Jacque Romine and Soli all had 1- 3 with Romine and Soli each bring ing a run across the plate. “It was a offensive game with a lot of errors. We worked hard and played hard softball. But fa tigue played a part, because right off in the first inning we commit ted two errors. On Friday we had been on the field from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The breaks we had be tween Friday’s game were only about 20 minutes and didn’t give us enough time to get a good meal or rest,” explained Fiskum. Six Cougars were recognized for their play during the regular season by being named to the all league first team: Baker for pitcher, K.C. Jones as catcher, William son for second base; Northcutt as shortstop; Julie Shekel in outfield; and Wimberly in outfield. Two more were named to the second team: Bremmer for infield and Troutner in the outfield. “It was nice to have our play ers recognized. Out of the thir teen spots on first team six of them were us,” stated Fiskum. Stickel carries a big bat, and strong team spirit for Cougars by Mark A Borrelli Editor-in-Chicf Success has become a com mon occurrence for the Clacka mas softball team. Last year the Cougars won the NWAACC tour nament and this year, with an other strong team, the Cougars are hopeful to defend that title. Although the Cougars are a well-balanced team, with talented players at every position, they will need big contributions from their big “stick” Julie Stickel to repeat last year’s success. Stickel, a Freshman from Madison High School has swung a hot bat for the Cougars all year. Stickle drove in a team-high 22 runs, while batting .376, also a team high. Stickel’s numbers don’t stop there as she hit five triples, two home runs, and stole 11 bases out of 11 attempts. Despite her great individual success, Stickle is team oriented and keeps concen trating on her team’s winning. Julie Stickel takes a few practice swings before a game. Stickel has one of the teams top batting average at .376.

This was a major factor in the Cougars’ not playing as well as they were capable of, so Coach Paul Fiskum took them aside and Stickel thinks that helped. “Coach took us aside and kind of got onto us because we had some problems and we were let ting it show up in the way we played,” said Stickel. That little chat set a fire un der the Cougars, as they started playing better, good enough to earn them second place and a chance to defend their title. “Nothing surprises me about this team. I honestly think we can win every game; I have no doubt that we can repeat as champions,” said Stickel One of the problems a Cham- ATTENTION: HIRING! CRUISE SHIP, CASINO, HOTEL JOBS!

Any under dog team can judge their whole season by beating the Champi ons. This, according to Stickle, is what her team must face game in and game out. “Every team rises to try and beat us. Teams definitely play their best game when they play us.” Stickle, who plays left field, keeps herself into the game, whether she is at the plate or in the field. “I’m always really into the game, into my teammates. They are so competitive, it excites me,” said Stickel. Some other things that excite her are coming up to bat with runners in scoring posi tion. “I love to hit with runners on base, I consider myself and any one on our team good hitters with runners on,” said Stickle. Stickle will return to Clacka mas next year to play softball and to work on a degree in business and accounting. She someday hopes to be a CPA But, for now, the main thing on her mind is helping her team achieve their goals, and with her skills and atti tude, they should be right around the corner. tKl
