If Como Park was feeling good fresh off their 18-0 takedown of Harding on Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Cougars fell just short of the North Polars by a score of 4-3 on Monday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Cougars of the 15-0 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2023.
Royal Urman was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He pitched six innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. That's the fewest earned runs he has allowed since back in April. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
Urman wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was John Corniea, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. Joseph Thomas also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
