Clinton and Bishop McGuinness are an even 3-3 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Clinton Red Tornadoes will host the Bishop McGuinness Fighting Irish at 1:00 p.m. on Monday. This will be Clinton's first chance to prove their worth in the conference.

Clinton came up short against Cache on Saturday, falling 7-1. The game marked the Red Tornadoes' lowest-scoring match so far this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bishop McGuinness). They were the clear victor by a 12-6 margin over Perry on Thursday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Fighting Irish needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.

The team relied heavily on Braxton Brewer, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Aiden Monigold, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Bishop McGuinness' victory bumped their record up to 4-2. As for Clinton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-4.

Clinton might still be hurting after the 7-1 defeat they got from Bishop McGuinness when the teams last played back in March of 2024. Will Clinton have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
