Cougs can ball.
We pick up our first win of the season over SUNY Brockport, as Joe Valenti throws a complete game shutout.
Other Notables:
Garrett McIlhenney 0-0 2 HBPs, 1 BB, 1 SB, 1 SAC.
| Cougs Can Ball |
We get our 5th straight win behind Maryniak, Gray, and Lanzendorfer.
Maryniak gets the W (1-1)
Gray goes yard and makes a spectacular diving catch on the warning track in CF.
Lanzendorfer slams the door throwing 2.0 innings of perfect baseball in relief.
A history lesson from the man who gave “Cougs Can Ball” the publicity it deserved back in Appleton, Wisconsin in 2018.
Thanks for everything 38!
