It may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but Clark ultimately got the result they hoped for on Saturday. They had just enough and edged out the Madison Mavericks 5-4. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Cougars have posted against the Mavericks since April 27, 2021.
Angel Tamayo and Jake Ramirez were a major factor while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Tamayo tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Ramirez struck out six batters over eight innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). The dominant performance also gave Tamayo a new career-low in walks (zero). At the plate, Tamayo scored a run while going 2-for-4, while Ramirez scored a run while going 1-for-3.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Derek Rodriguez, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Clark has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. Madison has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-9-1 record this season.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Clark will face off against rival Brandeis at 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Madison is set to square off against their familiar foe Johnson at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
