Series Schedule

The Cougars and Rangers will play a two-day, four-game series with each day scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. The first game each day will be nine innings followed by a seven inning contest. The series was originally scheduled for the weekend but an incoming snow storm forced the game dates to be changed. 

The Recap Against New Mexico Highlands

The Cougars opened RMAC play with a split of its four-game series with the Cowboys. The opener saw the New Mexico Highlands starting pitcher Jardian Martinez throw a complete-game before the Cougars won Friday's second game with a 7-3 decision with the help of Caden Walton's three hits and two runs scored. Saturday's doubleheader proved to be unique as Colorado Christian rallied from a 7-0 deficit to win 13-7 before the Cowboys won the final game 6-5 in extra innings when they hammered their ninth long ball of the series in the top of eighth.

Head Coach - Paul Koss

The 2020-21 season will be the first full season as head coach for Koss.

Paul Koss was named the school's full-time baseball coach on March 19, 2020. He was serving as the interim head coach for just over four months prior. He has been with the program since the 2017 season, serving as the squad's pitching coach before being elevated to the program's leader. 

Originally from California, Koss played baseball at Orange Lutheran High School, where he then went on to play at the University of Southern California. 

After four years of playing at USC he was selected in the 11th round of the 2007 draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He played for the organization for four seasons, reaching the AA level. Koss recorded 20 saves and 140 strikeouts as a reliever in his four Minor League Baseball seasons. He was a single-A All-Star while playing in the California League in 2008. 

In his playing career at USC he was the closer for three years ending his career second all-time in career saves, single season saves and appearances for the Trojans. This lead to playing for the Chatham A's in the Cape Cod league and earning a spot on the All-Star team in 2006 and received pitcher of the year honors.
