Clark never let their opponents score on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Churchill Chargers with a sharp 9-0 victory. Considering the Cougars have won six contests by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Not much got past Ben Roska, who gave up just three hits and racked up eight Ks to keep Churchill off the board. Roska has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Tristan Hidalgo, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Jerry Brightwell was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.

Clark is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. Churchill has been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season.

Clark will have a chance to go back-to-back against Churchill: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:45 p.m. on Friday.
