Sunny skies and mild temperatures made for the perfect baseball atomosphere and the Cougars put together a solid, all-around effort, coming away with a 10-1 victory over the Ophans at beautiful Sprehe-Jaycees Park in Centralia.

The Cougars never trailed in this one as they jumped on the scoreboard first, scoring 3 runs in the 2nd on consecutive singles by Brian Wodtka, Matt Wegener, and Nick Jones, a 2 RBI single by Jeremy Chasteen, and a pass ball by the Orphan catcher. Jason Shirley launched his fouth home run of the season, a solo shot, in next inning and the Cougars were up 4-0.

After tacking on single tallies in the 5th and 6th innings, the Cougars erupted for 4 more runs in the seventh, the big blow coming off the bat of Nick Jones as he connected for a bases-loaded triple.

Jeremy Chasteen picked-up his fifth win of the year by going the distance on the mound, allowing 7 hits, 4 walks, and striking out 5 Orphan batters.

Offensively, the Cougars banged out 11 hits and were led by Tyler Burns(single, double), Kevin Wilkins(2 singles, RBI), and Nick Jones(single, triple, 3 RBI).
