Mizzou in Summer Ball

■ Cowlitz knocks off Walla Walla, 7-1 (swxrightnow.com)

Black Bear starter Ian Ekery was great on the mound, giving up just one unearned run over six innings. The lefty was all around the strike zone, finishing the night with five strikeouts and only one walk. He retired the first nine batters of the game before dropping a flip from his first baseman on a ground ball. It nearly cost him but the two batters later his defense bailed him out.
