The Baseball team hosted Wake Tech for the final home series of the 2022 season this weekend.
The Yetis would win all three games by scores of 10-6, 3-2, and 11-3. Prior to the first game on Saturday, all sophomore players were recognized for their contributions to the baseball program at CCC with an on-field ceremony.
In Game 1 of the series, Kael Snethen homered and drove in three runs. Quentin Romo pitched three scoreless innings in relief and Kyle Flynn pitched the final four innings scoreless to get the win. In Game 2, Tyler Casciato and Mike Huber would both homer. Huber's 10th home run of the season would secure the lead for the Yetis. Parker Kanupp would pitch 6 innings while striking out 10 Eagle batters. Boone Cartee closed out the 7th inning to collect the save. In the series finale on Sunday, Robert Moya and Davis Turner would both have two doubles. Graham Brown would go five complete innings and struck out five to get the win.
