Clinton dropped down to 12-4 on Saturday, ending the team's four-game streak of wins. They took a 6-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Brandon Bulldogs. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Arrows of the 5-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2021.
Clinton got a good showing from Gage Temple, who pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Temple has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Clinton saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Stone Crain, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI and one double.
As for Brandon, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games.
On Brandon's side, Grady Smith spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on four hits and racked up six Ks.
On the hitting side, Ian Owens and Maddox Culpepper did most of the damage at the plate: Owens went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI, while Culpepper went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Those three RBI gave Owens a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Tre McQueen, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.

As for Brandon, they will head out on the road to take on Pearl at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
