SCOUTING THE COUGARS

Colorado Christian opened the season playing a pair of South Central region foes on the road in Texas. They opened with McMurry and went 1-2 before being swept by last season's region champion in St. Edward's. 

The Cougars were led at the plate by first baseman Dustin Conley who batted .348 with three runs driven in in the first seven games. Conley was one of five Cougars to play in and start every game thus far.

Freshman starter Austin Atkerson leads the Colorado Christian pitching staff. Atkerson has a 1-1 record and a 5.40 ERA in his two starts. He has allowed nine hits in 10 innings.
