CBC begins baseball season by taking two from Blue Mountain
The Columbia Basin College baseball team opened the regular season Wednesday in Pasco by sweeping two games from Blue Mountain Community College.
The Hawks won the first game 8-3 and took the second 3-1.
The doubleheader was postponed a day because of rain, but the extra day’s wait didn’t seem to bother the Hawks. They racked up 17 hits over the two games, with Spencer Bennion (Chiawana) contributing two in each contest.
CBC scored two runs in the third inning to go ahead for good in the first game. In Game 2, the Hawks scored all of their runs in the eighth.
Andrew Willmon and Karver Pate were the winners on the mound for CBC, which will host Prairie Baseball Academy for a doubleheader Saturday.
