Sophomore Nick Klindworth had a hit and a run. And, sophomore Rocco Mediate and freshman Thatcher Smith each scored a run.
Saturday’s win came on the heels of a tough varsity loss. This win came in the form of a mercy rule, 14-4, over the United Golden Eagles. Six Clippers recorded a hit in the contest, with two of those being doubles from sophomores Drennen Bosela and Rocco Mediate. Freshman Ethan Lehnerd also logged a hit, 2 RBI, and scored to a run. The starting pitcher for the Clippers, freshman Thatcher Smith helped himself with a hit for himself and getting hit with three pitches. Smith had an RBI and scored 2 runs. Junior Trey Snyder had a single, an RBI, and scored a run. Freshman Eric Nelson had a single and scored 2 runs; he also got hit with multiple pitches. Senior William Bucci logged an RBI.
