WNCC earned the four-game sweep over McCook over the weekend, running their conference record to 6-4 and 11-12 overall. WNCC won Saturday 8-4 and 9-0 over the Indians.
“We hit the ball well all weekend,” WNCC coach Mike Jones said. “We got up early in the first inning [in the first game Sunday] and never stopped.”
In the opener Sunday, Alex Arias blasted a fourth-inning home run to lift the Cougars to the five-inning win. Victor Rubio picked up the win on the mound.
In the second game, the Cougars finished with seven hits in a contest that was much closer. Jones said McCook had a left-handed pitcher that kept the Cougars’ bats at bay until the fifth inning. Again, it was Arias’s bat that sparked the Cougars as the freshman from Miami, had a solo home run to power the Cougars to the win.
Gustavo Sanchez picked up the win on the mound, while David Castle, a Guernsey, Wyo., graduate, picked up the save.
On Saturday, Tim Kupfner picked up the win in game one as the Cougars’ pounded out 11 hits. Jason Sloan was the big offensive threat, driving in a pair of runs, while blasting a solo home run in the sixth.
Ben Doran picked up the win in game two, allowing just three hits in six innings of work.
Elvis Garcia ignited the hot-hitting Cougars with a 2-for-3 performance, including five runs batted in. Garcia finished with a double and blasted a two-run home run in the fifth. Also for WNCC in the game, Aurelio Monteagudo went 2-for-3 with a double and Josh Parker collected a double.
