Robbins surpasses 300 career wins with Warriors
Apr. 12—LA GRANDE, Ore. — When the sun rose on Saturday, only the late Ed Cheff had won more than 300 games in a Lewis-Clark State baseball uniform.
By the time the Warriors were finished with their Cascade Conference doubleheader, Jeremiah Robbins had joined him on that list. Cheff, of course, remains in a class all his own with 1,705 career wins. LC State beat Eastern Oregon 16-6 for Robbins' 300th win as the Warriors' head coach.
He wasted little time moving past the milestone, leading the Warriors to a 10-2 victory — career win No. 301 — to cap the doubleheader. Robbins, a 2025 LCSC Hall of Famer, returned to Lewiston to begin a second tenure as head coach this past summer.
He ended his first six-year tenure with LCSC with 270 career wins, which was already second all-time. In his first year back at the helm, the No. 5 Warriors are 31-4 overall and 22-4 in the CCC.
LC State won Game 1 behind five total home runs, including two from leadoff man Brandon Nguyen. Izzy Madariaga got the scoring started with a blast and Bryce Johnson (three runs) and Noah Weintraub (three RBI) followed suit with home runs of their own. The Warriors posted three-or-more runs in four different innings to back up Evan Canfield's five-inning, one-run, two-hit and five-strikeout pitching start.
