Paul Fiskum
Softball Coach
The softball team gave up only
five runs on their way to their
third straight Northwest Athletic
Association of Community Col­
leges’ championship last Friday
at Irv Lind Stadium in Portland.
Clackamas finished with an
overall league record of 22-9.
The Cougars did not give up
a run on Friday.
Clackamas opened the tourna­
ment by beating Highline 6-0.
Kelley Comstock pitched the
shutout. Comstock had eight strike
outs and only allowed five base hits,
all singles, with no errors.
“The thing that was really good in
that game was the zero errors. That
is how you win softball tournaments,”
said Head Coach Paul Fiskum.
“Getting a very, very good pitching
out of Kelly Comstock in game one was
really good. It’s really nice'to be able to
say a pitcher of Comstock’s calliber is
your number two pitcher,” said Fiskum.
“She had eight strike outs in the game,
which was really outstanding.”
Robin Viol started the Cougar offense,
scoring in the team’s first at bat.
“We came out of the shoot. The first
hitter of the tournament scored a run
for us,” said Fiskum.
Again, the Cougars showed their
tendency to score in bursts. Clacka­
mas scored five runs between the
fourth and fifth.
“We came back with our bigger in­
nings later on, like we do a lot of the
times. I thought we came out in game
one and won a game you're supposed
to win. It's the one versus the four
[ranked teams],” said Fiskum.
Jodi Koehler and Dawn Davis led
the team with two runs apiece and were
3-4 at the plate combined. Kriss Demos
The campus honor society Phi Theta Kappa
A man was watching a woman undress for a shower
wrapped up a busy year by bringing home several hon­
ors from the Regional Conference held last weekend in
Tacoma, Wash.
Each year Phi Theta Kappa sets a goal is to achieve
Five-Star Status, the highest honor for a chapter. The
Alpha Xi Zeta chapter was awarded the Five-Star Sta­
tus certificate following a busy year of activities includ­
ing service to the community, leadership opportunities,
fellowship with other chapters and scholarship
achievement.
Phi Theta Kappa also received the Hallmark Award
for service. The Hallmark Award is based on achieving
several different goals for providing service to the com­
munity.
Topping off the list of awards is a full scholarship given
to the chapter so one officer may attend the Phi Theta
Kappa Honors Institute. The event is scheduled in
Bellingham, Wash, at the end of June.
by looking over the lockers last Wednesday morning in
the Randall Hall womens’ locker room. She looked up
as she was beginning to undress, saw the man and ran
for help. A chase ensued by Coach Mike Hodges, but
the perpetrator got away.
According to Public Safety Chief Larry Dexheimer,
the man is described as between six foot and six foot-
two, medium build with short, dark hair. He was wear­
ing a baseball cap backwards, gold wire-framed glasses,
a dark blue fleece vest and faded blue jeans. He is still
at large.
Chief Dexheimer noted that such incidents are few and
far between. The last incident, according to Public
Safety, happened two and a half years ago.
Coach Hodges noted the woman was a member of the
track team.
“It puts a bad light on all males,” Hodges said. “Who­
ever he is, he is real lucky some of her male team mates
didn’t catch him.”
knocked in Davis and Koehler with
a triple in the fifth, giving the Cou­
gars the final margin of victory.
Clackamas managed only seven
hits but gave up four as they beat
Southwestern Oregon Community
College 1-0 Friday afternoon.
Jackie Obrust had the only run of
the game.
“She faked to go home, and the
pitcher threw over the catcher’s'
head,” said Fiskum. “You can’t re­
ally hit the ball better than that. In
many ways, they are lucky wé didn’t
have more runs.”
Both teams have struggled to
score against each other this year.
“There is something about South­
west Oregon this year. For some rea­
son, we can’t hit the ball in the gaps.
We had five line drives, screamers,
that went right at people. One of.
them we hit into a double [out] play.
It just as easily could have been two
RBIs,” said Fiskum. “We had only
one strike out against a really good
pitcher. That girl was the player of
the year in Nevada two years ago. I
don’t know why we couldn’t score
against SWOCC this year. But I do
know one thing, we know how to
beat them one to nothing.”
Clackamas’ cause was helped by
Robin Lisak’s pitching. Lisak held
SWOCC tp only four base hits, all
singles. Lisak pitched the final three
games of the tournament, giving up
only 22 singles and one double in
21 innings.
“When you have Lisak on the hill
[pitching] one run is enough. We
scored just enough to get the win.
What can you say about Lisak, no
runs, nine strike outs and three
walks. That is why she is [South­
west division's] MVP [Most Valuable
Player]," said Fiskum.
