Voice of A Season Ticket Holder
by David Malamut

The Cougars are now back to square one on the new season. This is after they lost the game today to the Bees in the bottom of the ninth. After tieing the game in the top of the inning. Two days in a row that the Cougars have played one run games.

Phil Akens started for the Cougars, and pitched well. He went five innings, giving up only two hits. While walking one and striking out five. Phil retired the first six men he faced, then walked the leadoff man the next year. After that he retired the next two, before giving up a bunt single to third.

This game was get, at least in the pitching since. There was nine hits combined in the game and three runs. Both of the starters gave up no runs and two hits.

For the Bees, Brian Bass started for them, he played for the Bees last year. Bass pitched seven innings, giving up two hits and two walks, while striking out two.

Jon Asahina came in after Akens and pitched two and two thirds innings. He gave up one hit and three walks, while striking out one. Jon got five of the first six hitters he faced out.

The scoring started in the fifth when, with one out, Jon Draper reached on an error by the second baseman Kris Clute. On the play, Clute just missed the ball and allowed the pop up to land in the infield. Jonathan Guzman then singled to center to score Draper.

The Cougars would tie the game in the top of the ninth when, with one out Kris Clute doubled to right. Scott Hicks then poped up to left. Jason Stokes, reached on an error by the shortstop. On the play Clute made it to third. Winton Zapay then reached on an infield single to second, on the play Clute scored. The play was close, but I do think that he was safe.

In the bottom of the ninth, Ruben Gotay doubled to right, then he advanced to third on a wild pitch by reliever Elvis DeJesus. DeJesus threw the ball way over the catchers head. Jon Draper then singled to left to bring home the winning run.
