BASEBALL RECAP

The Saints baseball team played against Chemeketa Community College last Wednesday, May 3, and got off to a slow start.

Mt. Hood got one run in the bottom of the first inning, but there was a little controversy next time the Saints took the field: Chemeketa’s dugout was claiming a balk should’ve been called that wasn’t. The umpires came together, but nothing changed except for the fact that afterward they lost track of the ball-strike count on the batter at the plate (it was 0-1).

The Saints added a couple more runs in the seventh, and went on to win game one 3-0, but lost Game Two, 7-5. They then traveled to play Chemeketa again two days later and won both games in Salem.

Mt. Hood started a four-game set with Southwestern Oregon, playing here on Thursday (May 11) and resuming action on Saturday in Coos Bay. The Saints (13-17 overall through May 10) return home for one final double-header on Monday against the Lane Community College Titans.
