DOUGLAS, Ariz. — The No. 12 Cochise College Apaches battled in a high-scoring series finale but fell 9–5 to No. 13 College of Southern Nevada on Saturday at Bo Hall Field. With the loss, Cochise moves to 37–10 overall (14–7 ACCAC) and now sits two games behind Southern Nevada in the conference standings.

Big Seventh Inning Swings Game

Cochise stayed within striking distance through the middle innings, but Southern Nevada used a decisive six-run seventh inning to pull away and secure the series finale.

The Apaches showed resilience early, responding to deficits with runs in the third, fourth, and sixth innings to take a brief lead at 5–3 before the Coyotes' late surge.

Offensive Effort Led by Blais

Cochise finished with nine hits, highlighted by a standout performance from Landon Blais, who went 3-for-5 with two RBIs.

Cesar Chavira added a strong day at the plate with a home run and two RBIs, while Andrugh Yee contributed an RBI double. Zach Cavanaugh and Sawyer Fech each recorded multi-hit performances, helping fuel the Apaches' offense.

Pitching Battle Turns Late

Noah Miller got the start and struck out eight over four innings, keeping Cochise in the game early despite allowing three runs.

The bullpen held through the middle innings, but Southern Nevada capitalized late, with Jeffrey Peters III driving in four runs and delivering a key extra-base hit to break the game open.

Series Takeaways

Cochise showed fight throughout the series but was unable to hold off Southern Nevada's late offensive push in the finale. The matchup carried major ACCAC implications, as the Apaches now trail by two games in the standings heading into the next stretch.
