Clackamas baseball recently tied for first
in NWAACC (Northwest Athletic Association of
Community College) standings with Mt. Hood
Community College.
Cougar baseball won its doubleheader against
Southwestern Community College last Saturday 10-
0 and 3-0. The team also won a non-league game
against Concordia University 4-2.
Clackamas’s NWAACC standing is
now 12-4, which puts the Cougars in
first place with seven games to go until
the NWAACCs.
“Everybody is playing well right
now,” said Baseball Coach Robin
Robinson. “We’re hitting well all the
way through our lineup.”
One of the stand-out players this
past weekend was sophomore catcher
Ben Janal.
“Ben Janal was a great leader and
one of our best guys,” Robinson said.
“He is kind of the quarterback of the
team.”
Janal is just pleased that he and
his fellow players came together and
played like a team.
“If we play with the same inten
sity we’ve been playing with, we have a good shot at
NWAACCs,” he said.
Baseball’s next game is this coming Saturday
against Mt. Hood Community College, in Gresham,
at 1 p.m.
