Tuesday, CCC took on Linn- Benton on the Cougar diamond. Clackamas fell behind early, trail ing 8-3 in the fourth inning. Clackamas rallied with five runs in the fifth, two more in the sixth and a single tally in the eighth in the 11-8 comeback win. Kevin Lupp was the winning pitcher for CCC, pitching “a half way decent ballgame,” according to Head Coach Robin Robinson. “We had some defensive problems early on in the game but the kids held in there and we finally strung some hits together to make up the ground.” Thursday, CCC took on Mt. Hood CC in a make-up double header on the Clackamas field. The Cougars played one good game and one bad one, eventually los ing both ends of the twinbill by scores of 11 -1 and 1 -0. In the first game, a combination of poor defense and poor pitching proved to be the Cougars’ undo ing. Mt. Hood put together sepa rate four-run rallies in-the second and third innings enroute to the 11- 1 romp. Aaron Shanks threw a three-hit ter from the mound in the second game, but the Cougars could only scratch out two hits in the 1 -0 loss. “Shanks threw another great game for us, but again we couldn’t come up with any offense, as has been the case much of this year,” said Robinson. “If we could come MIKE POLLOCK / Clackamas Print Jeff Mi ken of Clackamas gets a base hit against Linn-Benton CC in the first game of a doubleheader held yesterday on the Cougar diamond.

Luke Holscher and Wes Warfield com bined on a six-hitter for CCC, but the Cougar offense couldn’t come up with the hits at. the right times in a 3-2 loss. “Both Luke and Wes pitched great games for us, but we didn’t hit the ball when we heeded to give them some support,” Robinson said. “Same old story for us this season. Another solid pitching effort wasted.” In the second game, Clackamas used several pitchers, although none had particularly good out ings, and the Cougars fell to Chemeketa 10-1. “We used five pitchers in the nightcap, but no one had any rhythm, and Chemeketa beat the heck out of us,” Robinson com mented. “A combination of field ing errors and a lack of offense put us in a hole, and we couldn’t dig ourselves out of it.” Clackamas takes on Mt. Hood CC on Saturday in Gresham, then comes back home for a nine-in ning game against Chemeketa on Tuesday. The Mt. Hood double header begins at 1 p.m., and the Cougars’ home game against Chemeketa begins at 3 p.m. on the Cougar diamond.
