The Cougars had 11 hits against two pitchers whom Clackamas head coach Robin Robinson said are really good. Clackamas pitcher Jeremy Palki got his first start of the year and got a lot of praise from his coach. “Jeremy Palki pitched a ball game that we have been waiting for our pitchers to pitch,” said Robinson. The Cougars played de cently in the second game, how ever, Robinson said they made two costly errors. Allan Coyle, who Robinson considers their pitching ace, was hit for six runs and eight hits. * Vermillion is the team’s best hitter so far this year hitting near .480, while Steve Geiszler is in the .420 range.
