COOLIDGE, Ariz. – Landon Lockwood had a career night in the second game of a doubleheader against Central Arizona College on Tuesday despite the team falling 14-9.

                WNCC dropped the first game of the doubleheader 3-0 in a pitcher's dual that saw the three CAC pitchers combine on a no-hitter.

                The second game was one where Lockwood finished with six RBIs with two home runs and two runs scored. One home run was a grand slam.

                Vaughn Wilson led the offensive attack with three hits, including a double with two runs scored.

                WNCC started the second game as Wilson double and then two walks later, loaded the bases. With two outs, Lockwood took the first pitch and sent the ball over left field for a grand slam and the 4-0 lead.

                It was short-lived as Central Arizona came back with four in the bottom of the first on a solo home run to tie the game at 4-4.

                Central Arizona continued scoring runs as they added two in the second, three in the third, two in the fourth and one in the fifth to lead 12-4. WNCC came back with two in the sixth as Catcher Gladysh walked and Lockwood blasted his second home run of the game to make it 12-6.

                WNCC added two more in the seventh all with two outs. Vaughn Wilson earned a walk and scored on Cooper Wilson's single. Cooper Wilson then scored on a Jin Kobayakawa single to make it 12-8.

                Central Arizona added single runs in the seventh and eighth to make it 14-8. WNCC added one in the ninth as Will Harbison scored on a fielding error, but WNCC left two on the bases when the final out was made.

                The second game saw starter Clayden Brandon got five strong innings in scattering five hits and allowing three runs while striking out six.

                Offensively, Central Arizona had their number as the CAC pitchers allowed six base runners, three via a walk and three by hitting a batter. The three pitchers also struck out 11 Cougar batters. WNCC couldn't take advantage of the right hit to score any of the runs.

                Central Arizona took the lead with two in the first and that was all they really needed. WNCC did get two on board in the top of the first, but left them stranded on base.

                Central Arizona added an insurance run in the fourth.

                WNCC, 8-9, will be back in action Wednesday with one game against Paradise Valley Community College.
