College of the Canyons was able to hang on for a 9-7 conference victory over Citrus College to close out its three-game set with Owls in victorious fashion on Saturday.

COC sophomore Nick Henry drove home four runs on a 2-for-2 day that also included a walk and a run scored. His three-run double in the bottom of the sixth helped spur a big four-run inning for the Cougars, and ended up being the difference in the game after the Owls pushed across three late runs to keep things close.

Canyons (14-3, 6-5) got on the board with a two-run single from Brendan Henry in the second and stayed after it with an RBI triple from Max Mehlbaum to make it 3-0.

Mehlbaum later came around to score on Nick Henry‘s first RBI of the game and the Cougars were ahead 4-0. He went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and two RBIs.

Citrus (11-14-1, 7-4) finally crossed home plate after COC starter Alex Ravago exited the game after three innings of work. The sophomore walked four and struck out two but did not allow a hit.

COC reliever Devin Judge started the fourth and recorded an out before turning things over to Chase Marcoe who handled the next 2 and 1/3 innings. Judge (3-1) picked up the win for his efforts. He walked one, struck out one and was charged with a run.

Meanwhile, the Owls were able to rally for a run in the fifth and two more in the sixth to put the game at 5-4. But an RBI base-knock from Kyle Soberano and Nick Henry’s three-run double quickly got Canyons back in front 9-4 after six.

Citrus continued its attack with a run in the eighth by way of a bases loaded walk, and two more in the ninth that prompted a series of pitching changes for the Cougars. COC reliever Cooper Everett started the final inning and recorded the first out but then allowed three-straight singles to load the bases.

Oskar Syren was inserted to try and shut things down for the Cougars and recorded one out, but not before Citrus had drawn to within two at 9-7, and had runners at second and third with two outs.

Eventually, COC starting backstop Nate Duarte shed his catching gear and headed to the mound to record the final out and pick up the save.

Canyons won the three-game series 2-1 by also taking the series opener 6-0 on Tuesday. COC fell 6-4 in Thursday’s road tilt in Glendora, then bounced back to get the win on Saturday. COC and Citrus split the season series 2-2.

Here’s the box score for Saturday’s game, and a link to more game photos.

The Cougars remained three games back of conference leader Glendale College and one game back of second place Citrus.
