Published 5:00 am Tuesday, May 8, 2012

Bend jumped on Brock Powell early, chasing the Cougars’ starting pitcher out with just two outs in the first inning. All told, the Lava Bears scored eight runs on nine hits in the home half of the first inning.

That was more than Godlove would need, as he allowed just two hits in five innings.

“We came out strong and then just rode Sami Godlove’s arm the rest of the game,” said Bend coach Bret Bailey. “He pitched really well.”

Godlove led the way for the Lava Bears on offense, too, recording two hits and an RBI. Justin Erlandson, Jonah Koski and Ben Kramer all had two hits apiece for the Lava Bears (14-7 overall, 4-3 IMC).

Drew Wickham led Mountain View at the plate, smacking Mountain View’s lone extra-base hit. The loss dropped the Cougars to 9-14 for the season and 1-6 in IMC games.

The Civil War rivals meet again Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in the teams’ regular-season finale at Bend High.
