Baseball Recap: Estancia Bears vs. Clayton Yellowjackets

Suggested Video

Clayton hit Estancia with a four-run third inning on Saturday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Bears fell just short of the Yellowjackets by a score of 7-6. The Bears were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Yellowjackets apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2022.
