After ending their week with a double-header win against Patten University, Cougar baseball kept it rolling Monday, to complete a three game sweep against Patten.
The Cougars started off strong with a leadoff double by CF Jason Hinton, who would later score on a sacrifice fly by LF Austin Way.
Patten University scored two runs on a two-out rally in the top of the 2nd. Two walks and a hit given up by SP Sean Landais lead to a two-RBI single up the middle by SS Brett Korporaal.
In the bottom of the 2nd, the Cougars picked up two more runs on solo home runs to take the lead 3-2, by 1b Morgan Wynne and two-out home run by SS Johnny Omahen.
In the bottom of the 4th, the Cougars would blow the game open and never look back. After scoring one run off an RBI single by 2b/LF Ricardo Moran, RF Terry Moritz would get his only hit of the game, which turned out to be the defining moment of contest with a grand slam to left field, giving the Cougars an 8-2 lead.
SP Landais would give up just three hits in five innings and only surrendered the two runs in the top of the 2nd. Landais would also strike out four and pick up his first win of the season, leading the Cougars to a 11-3 victory to make their record (6-7).
Trying to improve their record to .500, the Cougars lost in a shootout to #13-ranked California Baptist University.
Cal Baptist started off the game strong with a five run 1st inning. RF Eddie Quevedo, who gave nightmares to Cougar pitching, doubled to left center to knock in three runs to put Cal Baptist up 5-0.
Both starting pitchers, Jared Suwyn and Joe Martinez, could not last 5 innings giving up seven and five runs respectively. The relief pitchers of both teams did not fair much better.
By the top of the 6th inning, the Cougars kept chipping away at Cal Baptist's lead and would finally tie the score at 8. Thanks to an error by CF Robert Lundy the Cougars would get two unearned runs in a three run inning.
Cougars pitching just could not stop the offense of Cal Baptist giving up five runs in the final two innings to lose 15-11. P Grant Harrell would pick up his second loss of the season giving three runs on four hits in just one inning of work. The Cougars' record now stands at (6-8).
