Baseball
Cougars beat Brown County

The Cougars scored seven runs in the first inning and never looked back.

Luke Coomler, Broughton and Gross each had two runs, and Nathan Voelker, Bell, Darren Maxie, Pottschmidt and Peyton Pollert all had one run.
Voelker pitched five innings for Trinity, allowing no hits and striking out eight batters. If it weren’t for one hit-by-pitch, Voelker would have had a perfect game.
