Perennial powerhouse Eden Prairie came to town on Monday night and their pitching shut down the Cougar bats as the Eagles rolled to a 9-0 Lake Conference victory at Cougar Field.

The Eagle pitching held the Cougars to just one hit on the afternoon, an opposite field double by junior 2nd baseman Nick Daniels on a 2-2 pitch during the second at bat of the game. From there on the southpaw pitching of the Eagles kept the Cougar hitters off balance the rest of the game.

Eden Prairie out hit Lakeville South 12 hits to 1 for the game.

In the field the Cougars showed flashes of defensive prowess by turning three double plays in the game.

"That was encouraging," said Coach Zeise. "We're getting better defensively."

The Cougars next game is on the road at Bloomington on Wednesday night against Jefferson (4/19).

The Cougars are now 0-3 on the season.
