CCC softballers regular season champions

The Clackamas Cougar soft-
ball team won three games over the
weekend to bring their undefeated
league record to 13-0.
Friday, Clackamas played up
at Green River CC and won the
first game, 5-0, before the second
was canceled because of rain.
Saturday saw the Cougars win
both games of a twinbill over sec
ond place Olympic CC, These two
wins put the Cougars five games
ahead of Olympic with three games
left to play.
“Friday was an ugly day in
Tacoma,” commented Coach Paul
Fiskum. “The first game was de
layed one hour because of rain and
standing water on the field.”
Launa Meek made her return
to the team after suffering a neck
injury ten games ago.
She took over her usual lead
off spot and hit a single in her first
at-bat. Meek then scored after two
wiki pitches and a sacrifice by Corie
Peck.
Clackamas went on to score
four more runs to beat the host
Gators 5-0.
Kim Holum was the pitcher of
record and only allowed four hits,
all of which didn’t get out of the
infield, and only two runners reached
scoring position.
“Because of the wet ball, con
trol was difficult for Holum,” said
Fiskum.
Holum walked two and struck
out three.
Meek and Kristin Freitas each
scored two Clackamas runs, while
Kenna Skinner had two sacrifice
RBI.
“Skinner has one of the hottest
bats on the team right now,” said
Fiskum. “Over the last three weeks
her batting average is over .400.

Julie Braman slides for home shortly after the Grays Harbor catcher receives the ball for a
force out with the umpire recoiling for his call in the background.
“She’s doing a great job with
her slap hits and driving in the
runs.”
On Saturday, Clackamas won
convincingly over Olympic by the
scores of 9-1 and 6-2.
Meek again was a key player
in the first game of the Olympic
doubleheader. She went 4-4 at the
plate, including a triple and a home
run, scored three of the nine runs,
and stole three bases.
“Meek’s triple would have been
a home run, but the outfield fence
stopped the ball for the outfielder,”
said Fiskum.
Peck also had a great day, going
2-4 with a single and a triple.
On Peck’s triple, she slid hard
into third and suffered a knee in
jury. “She should be back in the
lineup soon,” said Fiskum.

Six different players scoredfor
Clackamas in the first game.
Jenny Hefflinger had another
good day pitching for Clackamas,
allowing one run on two hits.
“The umpire had a very small
strike zone and was forcing Jenny
to throw her pitches down the
middle,” commented Fiskum.
Hefflinger struck out three while
walking five.
“Jenny hasn’t had a bad day
yet and her 11-0 record speaks for
itself,” said Fiskum.
The second game against Olym
pic was a close battle through the
third inning.
Entering the fourth, the score
was knotted at two. Clackamas’
runs coming in the first and Olym -
pic’s in the third.
Clackamas’ bats came alive in
the fourth and allowed four more
Clackamas runners to cross the plate,
while Holum had didn’t allow any
Olympic batters to reach base from
the third inning on.
Cindy Vance, the NWAACC
leader in doubles, added one more
in the fifth with two outs to knock
in two runners.
“Cindy has had great RBI
production over the last few weeks,”
said Fiskum.
Injuries continue to plague the
Cougars. After Meek and Brandy
Toivonen return from injuries, Peck
and Lisa DeMers have to sit out
some games.
Results from yesterday’s games
against South Puget Sound were
not available at press time.

Criminal
Justice
Department
Last Thursday the Rip City
Rockets, a wheelchair basketball
team, took on the Criminal Jus
tice Department in a rematch of
last year’s one-point Rocket vic
tory.
Both teams were following
the official wheelchair basketball
rules, which put the Criminal
Justice Department, led by Jim
Brouillette, at the disadvantage.
Paul Tucker, Bill Morrow,
Brian McKinney, Carl Backstrom,
Chris Miller, and Captain Jeff
Gates had a strong start for the
Rockets bounding to a 32-2 lead
after the first half.
Brouillette’s team, the Blue
Knights, were struggling during
the first half, but after a spirited
halftime lecture from Brouillette,
they came back with a venge
ance.
Despite the Blue Knight’s
valiant effort to get back in the
game they lost to the dominating
Rockets by a score of 48-16.
The Rockets are now look
ing forward to their game against
the McLoughlin Cattle Company
staff to be played in June.
One goal of the Abled-Dis-
abled Club, sponsor of the game,
is to help disabled students be
come more active in recreational
activities and interact with able-
bodied people.
