Clark is on a three-game streak of home wins, while Johnson is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Cougars will welcome the Jaguars at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Clark knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past three matchups -- so hopefully Johnson likes a good challenge.
Clark gave up the first runs on Friday, but they didn't let that get them down. They were the clear victors by a 13-6 margin over Reagan. Considering the Cougars have won eight games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
