Saturday saw the Cougs put up 9 hits in a 12-5 win. Heading into the 4th inning, the game was tied up at 4 before the Cougs loaded the bases and then had a RBI-single followed by three straight hit by a pitch to bring in 4 more runs.
Sunday the Cougs fell behind 4-0 in the first inning and struggled to get back. They would put up 2 in each of the third and fourth innings but the Bruins held strong for a 9-4 win.
