The Clearwater baseball team opened their season Friday night against Northwood University, a NAIA (scholarship) program. With 80% of Clearwater’s roster being first year players, inexperience proved to be the biggest opponent. The Cougars played well for the first 4 innings of both games but lost the intensity in the 5th inning of each game which allowed Northwood to comfortably take the games. Northwood took both games with scores of 0-11 and 3-7. "Once we learn the college game, we should be able to play with everyone on our schedule. We have a lot of enthusiasm for the game, but we just have to stay poised throughout the game," Coach Milton said. There were a couple of highlights for the Cougars. Freshmen Lucas and Dexter Hollenbach had back-to-back hits giving them their first hits and RBIs of their college careers. Starting pitchers Al Heney and Justin Pauls turned in two quality starts on the mound, and Josh Carter went 2 for 5 with a walk. On Tuesday, the Cougars will travel to Lakeland to face the Fire of Southeastern University. The first game of the double-header will begin at 4 p.m.

LAKELAND, FL -- On Tuesday, the Cougar baseball team lost their first two region games of their regular season to the Fire of Southeastern University. Despite the 0-8 and 1-11 losses, the team is still working hard as they look to solidify their line up. “We are making simple mistakes that put us behind and force us to play catch-up ball. That is very difficult at the college level, especially with 6 freshmen in the starting line-up” said Coach Milton. As the team dropped the double-header to SEU and a 3-13 loss to Pasco-Hernando Community College, Doug Inman led the Cougars. We went 3 for 8 with a sacrifice fly. Senior Mike Surles had three doubles, and Joe Keen went 2 for 5. Keen also led the Cougars defensively from the short-stop position. The Cougars will face Pasco again on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Jack Russell Stadium.

CLEARWATER -- On Saturday, the Cougar baseball team dropped both games of a double-header against South Florida Community College. The Cougars dropped the first game 0-5 and the second 1-8. Coach Milton said, "both games showed promise as Clearwater played well defensively, but the last few innings of both games closed the door to any come-back.” Justin Pauls carried a no-hitter into the 5th inning before giving up a double. Allen Heney pitched into the 7th falling two outs short of a complete game. “Defensively we played well; we just had no offense,” Milton concluded. The Cougars had only 5 hits in the two games. Next up will be a Thursday double-header against Florida College. The first game will start at 5 p.m. at Jack Russell Stadium.
