Cougars Blowout Westmoreland to Extend Win Streak to Eight

Frederick Community College Cougars baseball kept their momentum rolling with a pair of dominant road wins over Westmoreland County Community College Wolfpack on Wednesday, pushing their overall record to 40-6, 24-4 in Region 20 divisional contests, while extending their win streak to eight games.

Jacob Downey continued his stellar day with two more hits, two stolen bases, and an RBI.
