The bats were humming again at the Northside Field this morning as the Clark Cougars defeated South San 10-8 in their second game of the round robin NISD tournament. The afternoon, however, wasn’t as kind as the Cougars lost to MacArthur 8-4. Hunter McFall and Trey Doebbler each hit home runs against the Brahmas.

Mattson greeted after HR

Seven runs, including a solo home run by sophomore Braden Mattson in the 4th inning, were not enough to beat Central Catholic in the NISD Tournament.  The final score was 7-7, because of game time limit rules in the tournament.  The Cougars, based on tournament rules, got the win.  Several pitchers took the mound for Clark.
