Clackamas Print Sports 7 Wednesday, May 17, 2006 oft ba 11 to NWAACC as three seed [tiik Jordan ¡Otckamas Print He Clackamas softball team luded the regular season »■eek by splitting double- lets with Southwestern (n CC and Clark College, getting swept by division ’pion Lower Columbia jge at home. je Cougars traveled to ¡Bay May 9 to take on ICC, and they took game by a score of 4-2. Janelle jjfaro stepped in for the ed Jamie Torgersen and ;d a gem, allowing only jit and two unearned runs ¡ck up the victory. Katie led Clackamas’s hitting, going 2-4. Game two was a different story as SWOCC, playing fast and loose, piled up 12 hits on Clackamas’ Lindsey Olin en route to a 13-5 win. The game was a sloppy on^ as SWOCC committed six errors and Clackamas had three mis cues, but timely hitting and a miniscule strike zone cost the Cougars a potential sweep of the twin bill. “Lindsay has battled shin splints all season. She wasn’t moving very well and it showed,” said Head Coach Paul Fiskum. “That and some amaz ing defense by the SWOCC centerfielder did not help us. That girl made two outstanding catches; it probably saved three or four runs. She only has one arm due to a birth defect, but she only needed one arm. She was great.” Last Friday, Clackamas played their final home games of the season, hosting Lower Columbia. LCCC came to Oregon City and stomped the Cougars 10-1 and 14-5. The only real highlight for the home team in game one was a solo home run by Cotie Howard in the fifth for the Cougars’ only run in the 10-1 loss. In game two, Casey Middagh’s two-run homer was not enough in Clackamas’s 14- 5 loss. Anna Alcala was 2-3 at the plate and Caitlin Ooley was 2-4 and scored twice, but it wasn’t enough. Clackamas traveled to Vancouver on Saturday to take on Clark College. Game one Cristofaro tossed her second one-hitter of the week in the Cougars’ 8-0 victory. Middagh was 2*2and scored two runs. Ooley was 2-4 with two RBI. Game two saw the Cougars jump out to a quick 4-0 lead after two innings, but Clark came back to lead 5-4 after six. Clackamas forced extra innings with a run in the seventh, but in the 11th inning a bases-loaded single gave Clark the winning run. The final score stood at 7-6. “The girls played their tails off, considering the beating that we took the day before against Lower Columbia,” said Fiskum. Middagh led the Cougar hit ters with a single, a double, a triple and two RBI. Erin Snyder was 2-3, and Brianna Mondragon was 2-4 with a sin gle and a double at the plate. Cristofaro relieved Olin and pitched the final seven innings, coming up with the loss. Clackamas travels to the NWAACC tournament this weekend at Delta Park as the number-three seed from the Southern Division.

Muhammad said that although this type of accident is uncom mon, something similar happens just about every year at Track and Field events around the country. “That’s why some states don’t have some events,” said Muhammad. “It’s why Texas doesn’t have the hammer or the javelin ... it’s why we don’t have the hammer.” Muhammad also reported that Marchant was conscious before and after the ambulance arrived, and that she could remember her name, birthday and what high school she graduated from. She sustained no concussion or frac tures and is expected to return to her team soon. i: Emma Ward competes in the hurdles event on Saturday, May 13 at Mt. Hood CC.
