ELENA BORYSKA Sports Editor With some assistance from Oregon’s unpredictable weather, the Cougar baseball team was only able to play one of the two doublehead ers scheduled this week, while mak ing up a pair of games that was post poned from April 9. On April 11, Clackamas traveled down to Eugene to take on the Southern Region leaders, Lane CC, in a series that was delayed from two days prior. The first game was a rout by the host Titans, with the Cou gars falling 12-1. Matt Paulsen was credited with the loss. After that beating, the Cougars kept the next game a lot closer, but were still un able to overtake Lane, losing 3-4. Brandon Gleich picked up the loss in this game. On Saturday, April 13, the Cou gar diamond men took off to Salem to try to steal two games from Chemeketa and even out their league record at six wins and six losses. However, Chemeketa wasn’t about to let that happen. The first game was another Cougar loss, 2-0, with Jordan Denney being handed the loss» After a short intermission, the Cougars came back in the next game to take even more of a beat ing, falling to a four point loss, 5-1. This loss was put on Jeremiah Beckert’s shoulders. After playing all of these Way games, the Cougars came back on April 14 to try to makeup a rainout from April 7. While both teams.were ready to play, the weather wasn’t ready to comply, forcing this game to be rescheduled once again.
