Cowlitz Black Bears News Release
Corvallis: August 12, 2012: The Cowlitz Black Bears were unable to convert a scoring opportunity in the first inning and an untimely error allowed the Corvallis Knights to score two runs in the bottom of that first and just like in Tuesday's game they were able to make it hold up.
Mikey Murray (Hawaii Pacific) recovered from the shakey start and shut out the Knights thru the Sixth inning when he was replaced by Mitchell Tripp (Oregon State). He gave up one run in the seventh for the final margin.
Austin Diemer (Cal. St. Fullerton), Derrick Salberg (L.C.C.), Konnor Armijo (Santa Ana/Utah), Bud Collura (Clark C.C./ So. Alabama), and Cody Childs (Mt. Hood C.C.) collected the Black Bears 5 hits off Corvallis Knights starting pitcher Rob Dittrick (Pacific U.).
Dittrick pitched 7 shutout innings for the win.
The Knights move on to the Championship series, while the Black Bears start preparing for their 4th. season in the West Coast League. They will welcome two new members next June, Medford, Oregon and Victoria, B.C., Canada. 2013 Cowlitz Black Bear Ticket Packages will be available soon at (360) 703-3195. or please visit us on-line at www.westcoastleague.com.
