CMS Baseball Uses Strong Pitching, Power Hitting to Take Series Opener from Puget Sound

AZUSA, Calif. - Three Claremont-Mudd-Scripps pitchers combined on a four-hitter, and four different players hit home runs, as the Stags baseball team opened up a four-game series with Puget Sound with a 7-1 win on Friday at Cougar Stadium. 

With the win, CMS moves to 7-3 on the season, while Puget Sound slips to the same 7-3 record with the loss. 

Dominic Rolla started and had a one-hit shutout with five strikeouts going through five innings, before surrendering a leadoff single in the sixth. After a one-hour lighting delay, he came out of the contest, and Parker McGraw and Colin McNiven each threw two innings of one-hit relief apiece. 

Offensively, the Stags had 14 hits, while 10 coming from the top four spots in the batting order, with all four hitting home runs. Andrew Mazzone was 3-for-3 with a homer, Dillon Martin was 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI and Jack Potter and Carter Bennett were each 2-for-5 with a homer. Bennett's second hit was a single in the eighth that hit the top of the wall in a short porch in right, inches from a three-run blast. 

Slader Spoor was 2-for-3, and got CMS on the board first with a single to center field in the bottom of the second, scoring Bryce Didrickson, who had a one-out single to shortstop. In the fifth inning, Potter led off with a solo shot, and one batter later, Mazzone hit a blast over the right field fence to make it 3-0. 

The Loggers got back within 3-1 in the sixth, but Bennett got that run back with a solo shot to lead off the seventh. After Mazzone singled to right, Martin hit a two-run shot to push the lead to 6-1. Martin then capped off the scoring in the eighth with an RBI groundout. 

The two teams will play a doubleheader tomorrow at 11 a.m., and conclude the series on Sunday at 11 a.m. with a single game, at Azusa Pacific's Cougar Stadium.
