The Clark baseball and softball teams both experienced on Tuesday what has been rare this season – a loss. It’s the first one in district for baseball and only the second for softball and both only by the narrowest of margins.

The Cougars softball team just couldn’t get their bats fired up as Holmes got the one run they needed in the 4th inning to beat Clark 1-0. That happens to be the same score as their only other district loss, which was Taft in the first game of the season. Clark did have 6 hits to Holmes’ 4, but couldn’t muster the runs.  The loss leaves them in 3rd place in district, but with the chance to make a statement and a push in the next two games as they play second place O’Connor on Thursday and first place Taft next Tuesday.

In the Harlandale Invitational, Clark track athletes posted winning times to bring home medals and a team victory.

The boys team finished 2nd overall at the meet behind Steele but beating MacArthur, Churchill, and a host of others.  In the 200m, Brandon Yates placed 2nd with a time of 23.22.  Austin Wells won the 3200m with a time of 9:46.24 and came in 2nd in the 1600 with a time of 4:36.79.  Presley Miller turned it on in the 110m hurdles, placing 3rd at 15.96.  The relay teams then made their marks in the 400 (3rd place), the 800 (1st place) and the 1600 (2nd place).

On the girls side, Clark placed 11th  and was led by Shantel Swift, winning the triple jump (36-4) and winning the 400m (1:00.93).

GOOD JOB COOGS!

Skowronski helps himself

Clark baseball remained undefeated in district, beating the Jay Mustangs 14-10 in 7 long innings of play.  Starting on the mound for the Cougars was Ryan Skowronski.

Clark’s first at bat saw 6 batters step into the box, recording 2 walks (Cervantes & Dullnig) and a RBI single by Matt Cohen. In Jay’s first at bat, a home run set the stage for a tough game.  Clark defense quickly took care of the next batters to close out the inning.

In the 3rd inning, Jay scored another run, giving Jay a 2-1 lead at the end of 3.  Jay scored another 3 runs in the bottom of the 4th and Chris Werland took the mound to get the last Jay out; score Jay 5, Clark 1.

At the top of the 5th inning, Clark bats said “ENOUGH”.  Hunter McFall led off the inning and hammered  a ball to the wall with a triple. Braden Mattson followed with a single, putting Clark runners on the corners.  Chad Dullnig had a nice sacrifice fly to score McFall and advance Mattson.  Mat Cohen hit a single to score Mattson and Werland’s fielders choice scored Cohen.  The Mustangs were not to be stopped, scoring another 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th, score Jay 8 Clark 4.   (continue reading…)
