The 8 Final Words Wednesday, May 3, 2006 Clackamas Softballers slightly strugglint Frank Jordan I The Clackamas Print Clackamas softball struggled last week, posting a 3-3 record in Southern Division play and falling into a tie for second in the division. April 25, the Cougars hosted Mt. Hood CC in a doubleheader and split two games with the Lady Saints, winning game one 4-3 and losing the nightcap 9-3. “We played great in game one, scoring in the bottom of the seventh for a one-run win,” said Head Coach Paul Fiskum. “We made a couple of mistakes, but we showed some great men tal toughness to overcome those mistakes and pull out a much- needed victory.” Cougar freshman Katie King blasted a three-run home run in the fourth to give Clackamas a 3-1 lead, but Mt. Hood scored two runs in the fifth to tie the game and set up the last inning heroics. Caitlin Ooley led off the sev enth with a bunt single, and then she stole second base. Heather Rightley slapped a 2-2 pitch right back to the Mt. Hood pitcher, but the pitcher overthrew her first baseman on the play, allowing Ooley to score from second with the game-winning run. In game two, Clackamas hit the ball hard the whole game, but none of the shots fell and that bad luck led to the 9-3 second game loss. The Cougars stranded 12 base runners and committed three errors in the field, contributing to the loss.
