East righthander Scott Campos struck out nine in a losing effort, two days after South hurler Max Karnos fanned 17 Cougars in a Saturday game that Service won 2-1.

"We're not swinging the bats too well but we're getting the wins," Service coach Ken Wooster said. "Like I said after the South game, he got all the Ks, but we got the W."

In Monday's seven-inning win over East, Service left-hander Ryan Caron struck out five and allowed two hits for the complete-game victory. Josh Fetko's two-run single in the sixth gave Caron and the Cougars a three-run cushion.

In an eight-inning win Saturday over South, Jake Ridley touched Karnos for the game-winner with an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth. Caron was 3 for 3 with four stolen bases and Matt Yandell pitched a complete-game two-hitter for the Cougars.

Service, which steamrolled Eagle River 17-5 last Thursday with a six-inning pitching effort from Fetko and a two-run, pinch-hit double from Mike Perez, are 5-1 heading into a Thursday game that marks the midpoint of the CIC season.
