SOPHOMORE COUGARS DROP OPENER 9-5 TO NORTH
Monday, April 9th, 2007
The Cougar sophomores
played hard, but defense killed the season opener as they dropped a
9-5 contest to Lakeville North.
Despite the score, the Cougars pitched very well, giving up only
one earned run in the game.
"Our lack of defense was the real story. We couldn't back up
our pitching, who pitched well," according to sophomore head
coach Bryant Rogness.
On the other side of the ball, coach Rogness said,
"Offensively we had some bright spots."
Leading the way for the Cougars were...
Nick Continenza helped his pitching effort by going 2 for 2 at
the plate, driving in 3 RBIs to lead the Cougars.
Lee Frandrup was 2-3, including a double with 1 RBI. He also
scored 2 runs.
Andy St. Martin was 2 for 2 and scored 2 Runs.
Coach Rogness summed the opening game up this way, "I am
really excited about the way we hit the ball today. We had three
players today with two hits apiece and, for the most part, took good
at bats. Our pitching was solid, both Nick Continenza and Hunter
Ruth mixed their pitches well and kept the opposition off balance.
We need to work on our team defense, but that will come. I'm very
excited about our potential!"
The Cougars are 0-1
with their next game against Apple Valley. That game is now in
question due to the weather.
