What a season so far! You wouldn’t know that though, right? While we were silent online, the Cougars were noisy on the sidelines and between the lines.
We won our first four and dropped our last two.
A strong start and the Cougars are near the top of the standings.
This blog is all business to recap the fun on the field.
Six games. Six recaps.

16 vs Pitches 11 | Game 2 | 05.04.21
The boxscore tells the story ... team teeming with highlights!
A coaching lowlight and a running highlight. Ev was on first and Captain Cougar, thinking there were two outs, sent him sprinting on a fly ball. Evan made it past second base before the ball was caught. The screams from the Cougars and Cougar Nation told Ev to get back and he had to touch second before heading back to first base. He almost made it!
Video Highlight: Evan scrambles back to first base.

Later that inning, Ev blasted a three run homer, which was the first of his career! Four games into his Cougar career and Ev has never lost, has beat both Chicken Shack and Miller Time, and smashed his first homer. Unreal.

Here's another fun highlight. Charley smashed the ball to left center and with a huge turn got caught Martini-like between first and second. As the defense tried to get CRads in a rundown, he yelled for Boom to run home. It was like he yelled squirrel!!! The defense threw the ball home as Boom slid safely headfirst into home while CRads sprinted to third.
