Sports The Clackamas Print Pg. 4 Wednesday, May 111994 Coyle, Stroup silence opponents by Jeff Adams The Print Staff The Clackamas baseball team enjoyed a .500 week last week winning three out of six games, all games were part of doubleheaders. On May 3, the Cougars hosted Linn Benton in a double­ header. TheCougars split the doubleheader in a steady drizzle. They won the first game 8-5 as Eric Filla picked up the win im­ proving to four wjns two losses on the year. The offense was led by Kyle Misener who hit a home run to start off a good hitting week for him. But in the second game the Cougars were on the short end of the stick, losing 8-6. On May 7, the Cougars trav­ eled to Salem to battle Chemeketa in another doubleheader. The Cougars again split the double­ header winning a close one, and losing a close one. In the first game, the Cougars picked up the win 7-6 behind the arm of Allan Coyle. But in the second game, Coyle didn’t have enough left as Clackamas fell6-5. Misener con­ tinued his hot hitting blasting another home run, Willie Cole also contributed a round tripper for Clackamas. Clackamas finished up the week on Sunday playing Linfield J. V. in a non-league doubleheader. Both games were one run affairs, with Clackamas again earning a split. In the first game, the Cou­ gars were ahead 6-5 in the ninth inning, needing only three outs for the win. The Cougars pitcher then walked thebases loaded with no outs. Linfield took advantage of the situation and scored two runs to go ahead. The Cougars couldn ’ t plate anyone in their half of the ninth and lost 7-6. Kyle Misener again homered for the Cougars giving him three HR’s in the last three doubleheaders. In the second game, it was the Cou­ gars turn to play the hero. The game was tied at zero through six innings. Linfield scored one run in the top of the seventh to go ahead. In the bottom of the sev­ enth it was all Clackamas. Jesse Robinson led off with a pinch-hit double, Brian Itami then singled to put runners on first and third with no outs. Derek Pierson came up to sacrifice bunt but ended up with a bunt single to load the bases. Adam Stroup then became the hero with a game winning double plating two runs. TheCou- gars had four consecutive hits to win the game 2-1. The Cougars are still in first place in the Southern Division with an 8-4 record (18-11 over­ all). They have a one game lead over the second place team, and six games remaining. Robinson felt that they hit the ball really well last week, and that the pitching has been good the last two weeks. This gives the Cougars reason to believe. But Robinson is quick to note, “We need to decide if we want it bad enough to win it.” Cougars expand division lead to four ■ The Cougars win big over Pierce College and George Fox by Frank Jordan The Print Staff Clackamas used great pitching and solid defense last Tuesday to sweep a doubleheader from Pierce College and received a forfeit on Friday against Grays Harbor CC to stretch their NWAACC Southern Division lead to four games in softball action last week. In the first game against Pierce, Danielle Madigan went 3- 3, while Michelle Kolbo and Kris Strouhal had 2 RBIs apiece in support of Becky Cordill’s 2-hit inning to break a scoreless tie, with the big blow coming on a three-run homer by Keri Gunderson,her secondof the year. Brandi Kaihrath chipped in with a two-run Single in the inning and Maja Wirkkala drove in the sixth run of the stanza with a single. The Cougars picked up an insur­ ance run in the seventh for a 7-0 final score. Diana Clift had perhaps her finest performance of the sea­ son on the mounid in running her record to 4-0. Clift only gave up singles in the fourth and sixth innings as she was in complete control the entire game. “Diana’s pitching is re­ ally coming around,” commented shutout in a 9-0 win. Clackamas spread out the scoring in a solid performance from top to bottom in running their league record to 15-0. Strouhal’s two-run double in tee first got tee Cougars rolling, while Kolbo’s two-run triple in the sec­ ond continued the roll. Cordill had great command of her pitdies throughout and was never threat­ ened in running her record on the year to 9-0. In the second game, Head Coach Paul Fiskum. “Sb much so, that she will be a tremen­ dous asset once the NWAACC tournament rolls'around. She is getting stronger with each outing, which gives her more and more confidence.” On Wednesday, the Cou­ gars played a non-counting scrim­ mage against George Fox Col­ Clackamas used a six-run sixth lege. The Cougars dominated the Boxers early and often in the 9-2 victory. What made the victory more impressive is that George Fox would leave Oregon City and this past weekend win the NAIA District 2 championship. Cordill and Clift com­ bined for a three-hitter in the ten- inning exhibition, while Strouhal drove in four runs and Gunderson knocked in two with a triple in the second. Last Friday’s double­ header with Grays Harbor was forfeited because Grays Harbor is no longer fielding a softball team, and Saturday’s twinbill with Green River CC was postponed by order of the NWAACC office, because Green River had all three of their pitchers hurt and unable to play. To give Green River a chance to recuperate, the doubleheader will be played this coming Sunday at the Clackamas diamond. Clackamas will also face Olympic CC in a doubleheader on the CCC diamond this Saturday, with the first game beginning Back on track byJesseSowa , 3^4,». ' jspecbveíy.
