Mason Sims and Braylon Rice were a major factor no matter where they played. On the mound, Sims pitched two innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. Meanwhile, Rice didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. Sims is becoming a predictor of Clarendon's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 4-1 (and 5-7 when he doesn't). At the plate, Sims scored four runs and stole three bases while getting on base in three of his six plate appearances, while Rice went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. Those three stolen bases gave Sims a new career-high.
In other batting news, Shane Hagood was incredible, going 3-for-6 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Clarendon is undefeated when Hagood posts two or more runs, but 5-8 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Mason Allred, who scored three runs while going 1-for-4.
