June 18, 2011 - West Coast League (WCL)
Cowlitz Black Bears News Release
Kelowna, BC, Canada: For the second time this summer, the Cowlitz Black Bears have taken a series against a West Coast League foe. Jeff Gold (University of Oregon) took the hill and threw six innings of two-run baseball. Ricky Villareal (Pepperdine) recorded the save, striking out two in the ninth. The win moves the Black Bears to 6-7 (4-7) on the young season.
Cowlitz didn't have quite the success at the plate that has been on display at times this season, but after getting one in the second a three-run third inning provided all the scoring they needed. Spencer O'Neil (University of Oregon) led the way with a two-run double which highlighted his 2-for-4 night. Kyle Garlick (University of Oregon) and Billy Flamion (Central Catholic HS) also knocked extra-base hits off of Falcons starter Ethan Miller.
The team will look for the sweep against Kelowna tomorrow at 6:05 pm. After the game the Black Bears head to Bellingham for three games before returning to Story Field on Thursday, June 23rd against the Kelowna Falcons.
