Clayton gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Mora Rangers/Rangerettes and snuck past 7-5. For Clayton, this counts as revenge for the 6-0 defeat Mora walked away with the last time they faced one another back in March of 2023.
Corvin Scott and Jerry Archuleta made a splash no matter where they played. Throwing, Scott tossed 1.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (he also didn't allow any walks). Meanwhile, Archuleta struck out ten batters over 5.1 innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off nine hits. At the plate, Scott scored two runs while going 1-for-2, while Archuleta scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Isaiah Raines, who went 3-for-3 with three RBI, a triple, and a stolen base. Another player making a difference was Daniel Manquero, who went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run.
Clayton will have a chance to go back-to-back against Mora: the pair will be back at it again later today.
