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…)
