Business students

Some of CCC’s business stu­
dents will be hosting a silent auc­
tion for victims of the Boston
Marathon bombing. This is not
only philanthropic, it is for a grade
that will be visible on their tran­
scripts. It will be held Saturday,
May 18, from 1 to 5 p.m. in
Gregory Forum.
Instructor Cole Chatterton’s
BA 205 Business Communication
class is based on planning and
conducting a project for the ben­
efit of others. One of this term’s
Business Communication groups
decided to host a silent auction
event for the benefit of the Boston
Marathon victims. The project
manager in this group is Antonio
Matic.
“The whole class is just mak­
ing a philanthropic work that will
benefit the community somehow,”
said Matic. “Basically our goal
is to raise $2,500 to send to the
Boston Marathon victims to cover
health expenses and maybe even
to help infrastructure with the
city.”
T here' w ill h e lKemect baskets
auctioned throughout the day
including fitnessj cooking, spa,
movie, REST (relaxation through
sensory deprivation) and athletic
baskets.
To obtain the items needed
to fill these baskets, the “Project
Boston” team has sent out a
wishlist of items to the businesses
in the Portland metro area with the
following message:
“We understand that not all
things will be obtainable which is

why we created a very widespread
and diverse list to suit every one of
our potential contributors. Items
that do not fit into a basket will be
auctioned off separately. Our team
is committed to sending a strong
message; so any and all donations
are appreciated. In times of hard­
ship, we must not overlook the
small things because they mean
the most.”
Lindsay Loney is another stu­
dent on the “Project Boston” team
and helped gather items for the
baskets. They wound up getting
more items than needed for the
baskets being auctioned.
“We have a lot of random stuff
right now, and are putting the bas­
kets together. The random items
we will either give away as prizes
or sell on the side,” said Loney.

Top: The Cougar softball team ended their regular season with a 7-0 victory over Clark at home on sophomore day
on Saturday. The team cheered to celebrate No. 6 Megan M alvick’s second inning home run.
Bottom: Sophomore softball players were honored after their final home game.
Lucy Baldovino made sure
sophomore day would be a cel­
ebration for the Cougars as the
Clackamas Community College
(28-14 overall, 15-5 in region)
softball team ended the regu­
lar season in style with a 7-0
victory over visiting Clark on
Saturday. Baldovino pitched a
complete game one-hit shutout,
striking out 16 batters with a
mix of speed and movement on
her pitches.
“Lucy looked great,” said
head coach Jessica Buel. “It was
good for her to get a full game
in today and get some innings
under her belt before the tourna­
ment. She did an awesome job.”
Sophomore Tasha Silvius
was amazed that Baldovino per­
formed so well on the hot day.
“It was really hot. I’m really
hot. I can’t imagine how hot she
was,” said Silvius. “She did a
really good job to finish it off.”
Baldovino has assumed the
role of closer for the past few
weeks as Breann Morrison (7-4)
and Alyson Boytz (13-4) have
taken over the starting pitching
roles. It’s nice to know that if
needed, Baldovino can go the
distance. Baldovino gave credit
to her team for backing her up.
“My team played really good
today,” said Baldovino. “When
my team comes together like
that, I definitely pitch better. I’m
very proud of my team to keep
hitting the ball.”
Baldovino was happy to get a
chance to pitch an entire game.
“I felt really good,” said
Baldovino. “I’ve been a closer
for the past couple weeks, so it
feels nice to start and finish a
game.”
The Cougars got on the
board with two runs in the first
inning, then sophomore short­
stop Megan Malvick launched a
no-doubt-about-it two-run home
run to center field to give the
Cougars a 4-0 lead in the sec­
ond inning. That was all that
Baldovino needed, as she kept
the Penguins off balance, allow­
ing one long single off the Cen­
terfield wall in the sixth, inning.
Malvick added a sacrifice
fly for a total o f three RBIs
and Rashaun Sells added two
hits and a run batted in for the
Cougars. Seven Cougars got hits
as they continually put pressure
on the Penguin defense.
