The Cougars earned Sunday’s wins with some clutch hitting and some good defense in earning a 4-0 win in game one and then topping the Rattlers 4-3 in game two. On Friday, the Cougars fell to Lamar 9-0 and 11-3.
In the opening game, WNCC quickly got on the scoreboard as Aurelio Monteagudo had a two-out home run over the right centerfield fence for the 1-0 lead. After that, the Cougars played good defense in stopping several Otero scoring opportunities. WNCC added three insurance runs in the sixth inning for the win.
WNCC’s Tim Kupfner picked up the win, going all seven innings in scattering four hits. The Cougars pounded out seven hits.
In game two, WNCC quickly took control as they scored two first-inning runs. The score stayed that way until the fourth inning when Otero plated three runs to grab a 3-2 lead. WNCC retook the lead in the fifth with two runs to get the win.
WNCC’s David Castle picked up the win in relief, while Rodil Martinez got the save.
The Cougars will be back in action Tuesday when they host McCook Community College in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m.
