CHAMPLAIN — Winning pitcher Lucas Kowalowski and Cooper Holland combined on a three-hit shutout Sunday, and Plattsburgh High recorded a 9-0 win over Northeastern Clinton in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference baseball.
It was the first loss of the season for the Cougars, who are currently ranked No. 14 in the state in Class B. Both teams entered the game with two wins already on the weekend.
Kowalowski went the first four innings, and Holland fanned five over the next three to get the save. Losing pitcher Cobe Lafountain held PHS to one run over the first five innings.
“Both starting pitchers threw very well in the game, and Cooper Holland came in to shut the door,” NCCS coach Jeff Norton said.
“Although the score ended 9-0, it was a 1-0 game until the sixth inning. The main difference became Plattsburgh finally getting some big hits and capitalizing offensively with runners in scoring position in the sixth, something we struggled with all game.
“I am disappointed with the final score because this was a much more competitive and well-played game than the score indicates.”
Kowalowski, Colin Walker and Nico Custode led the Hornets with two hits each. Holland added a triple and Walker a double.
Three NCCS players had singles.
