Clovis had to settle for second on Wednesday, but Slater Balestra sure wasn't going down easily. Balestra pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. The performance also marked the fewest walks (zero) he has had since back in May of 2024.

The Bears are limping into the matchup having lost five straight at home. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Balestra and the Cougars have enough to stop it? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
