Robbins surpasses 300 career wins with Warriors

Apr. 12—LA GRANDE, Ore. — When the sun rose on Saturday, only the late Ed Cheff had won more than 300 games in a Lewis-Clark State baseball uniform.

By the time the Warriors were finished with their Cascade Conference doubleheader, Jeremiah Robbins had joined him on that list. Cheff, of course, remains in a class all his own with 1,705 career wins.

LC State beat Eastern Oregon 16-6 for Robbins' 300th win as the Warriors' head coach. He wasted little time moving past the milestone, leading the Warriors to a 10-2 victory — career win No. 301 — to cap the doubleheader.

Robbins, a 2025 LCSC Hall of Famer, returned to Lewiston to begin a second tenure as head coach this past summer.

He ended his first six-year tenure with LCSC with 270 career wins, which was already second all-time.

In his first year back at the helm, the No. 5 Warriors are 31-4 overall and 22-4 in the CCC.

LC State won Game 1 behind five total home runs, including two from leadoff man Brandon Nguyen. Izzy Madariaga got the scoring started with a blast and Bryce Johnson (three runs) and Noah Weintraub (three RBI) followed suit with home runs of their own.

The Warriors posted three-or-more runs in four different innings to back up Evan Canfield's five-inning, one-run, two-hit and five-strikeout pitching start.

The nightcap consisted of more of the same domination from the Warriors, this time with Madariaga smashing a pair of home runs and Nguyen and Spencer Zeller joining him with home runs of their own.

With Landon Webb haveing exited his last start with an apparent injury, Mason Goodson took the ball and turned in 5 1/3 two-run innings, striking out five.

Reliver Jordan Lennartson also struck out five and covered the final 3 2/3 frames.
