Cougar baseball started off slow last week with two straight losses, but swept their double header Sat. to salvage the week.
In the first game of the week, the Cougars (3-6) were blown out by #25 Biola (4-2) 17-5. The game got out of hand quickly, with Biola scoring 13 runs in the first three innings. In the bottom of the 2nd, 1b Matt McQueen knocked in the first two runs of the game with a two-RBI double. Biola would add on two more runs before their nine run 3rd inning. Biola got RBI's from RF David West, C Daniel Bodemer, CF Chris Foreman, 2b Hawkins Gebbers, and LF Chad Pace after batting around in the bottom of the 3rd.
The Cougars scored in four consecutive innings to get their five runs for the game, but it was not even close to being enough to make this a game. RF Jared Suwyn continued his hot streak with an RBI single to put the Cougars on the board. 2b Louie Russo tacked on two more runs with a two-run HR in the top of the 7th.
In the second game of the week, the Cougars' comeback was stopped by #13 Cal Baptist (9-4) in a close loss 4-3.
In the bottom of the 1st, the Cougars performed two errors to give up two runs off one hit, to start off on a rocky 1st inning.
The Cougars scored in the top of the 5th off a one-out RBI double down the line by C Dane Ponciano. In the top of the 7th, Jared Suwyn would sacrifice fly to CF to bring the score to 3-2.
With just three outs remaining in the game, LF Austin Way hit a leadoff HR to bring the score to 4-3. The Cougars would leave the tying and go-ahead runs on base in a losing effort.
Cal Baptists SP Duke gave up 10 hits but only allowing two earned runs in six innings worked. Cal Baptist used three relievers to close out the Cougars giving up one run and two hits in the final three innings.
In the weekend double-header against Patten University the Cougars won 6-5 in 11 innings and 11-2 to save their week and improve their record to (5-7) on the year.
