The CAM Cougars baseball team struck early and often on Wednesday night in a 17-0 triumph over Woodbine. The Cougars belted out 14 hits and piled up 13 runs in the second inning to grab the mercy rule win after 3.5 innings.

Colby Rich got the party started in the first with a 2-run homer to left-center that brought Seth Hensley’s lead-off single around. The Cougars would score two more in the opening frame.

The second time to the plate for CAM started much like the first. Chase Spieker reached base to lead-off the second. Then two batters later Lane Spieker sent a shot over the right-center fence to put 2 more on the board. It kept rolling from there as the Cougars racked up 10 hits in that 2nd inning onslaught. After the game Lane Spieker talked about his 2-run blast.

Spieker was also terrific on the mound with 8 strikeouts in the shortened game. The fastball was working well for Lane and he said he felt good after not pitching for a while.

The Cougars get revenge for their lone loss of the season. The Cougars fell 3-1 to Woodbine back on May 26th in a game that was added that day because of some other cancellations. Spieker said it was a much better feeling this time around.

CAM improves to 14-1 on the season. Woodbine falls to 10-3.
