Cougars Split Weekend Series

The Cougars baseball team split its four-game series with UC Davis this Weekend. The Aggies took the rubber game yesterday, outslugging the Cougars 13-11. Coach Donnie Marbut said the Cougars came out hot, but after taking a big lead, they lost their focus.
“It's disappointing when you spot your starting pitcher seven runs and can't hold the lead,” he said. “We seemed to stop playing after the first inning. You look at the scoreboard, see 11 runs and 17 hits, and think it's a lot, but it's not.”
Jim Murphy led the Cougars at the plate. The senior went 4-for-5 with a career high six RBI, including a grand slam in the first inning.
The Cougars next play on Tuesday, when they travel to take on Gonzaga. Game time is set for 6 p.m.

Bennett Turns Down Indiana

Amid contradictory reports, Cougar head coach Tony Bennett said today that he is not interested in the Indiana coaching job.
For the second consecutive off-season, cougar fans were left to ponder the whether or not their headman would be coming back. Last year, it was openings at Texas A&M and Kentucky, this year it’s Cal and Indiana. In both instances, the outcome has been the same. It seems as though Bennett enjoys the underdog, small-town mentality found in Pullman and few other places.
