The Cougars were swept by Central Arizona College early in the week, but rebounded by sweeping Mesa CC on the weekend to go 2-2 on the week. South Mountain was defeated by the scores of 6-4 and 6-5 by CAC on Tuesday and Wednesday. Despite a solid outing from freshman Jared Mattera (6 innings and 2 runs), the Cougars let a 5-2 lead slip away on Wednesday. Sophomore Vinny Lujan and freshman David Renteria both picked up wins on the mound versus MCC. Freshman Eddie Villa reached base in 9 of 10 plate appearances against the Thunderbirds on Friday and Saturday. Saturday’s victory marked the 11th Cougar win in their final at-bat and 14th time the Cougars have come from behind in the final three innings of a game. In the final week of the regular season, the Cougars will head to Yavapai College on Tuesday and to Pima CC on Saturday for ACCAC double-headers.
