It may have been a little too close for comfort on Friday, but Clark baseball came through with a 5-3 win over Marshall. Robert Martin was on the mound for the Cougars and the game was scoreless for the first two innings, but by the third inning, the game was tied 3-3.  That score lasted thru the 6th inning. It was looking like another extra inning situation- the last time Clark played Marshall, the game went into 5 extra innings. However, in the 7th inning with Chad Dullnig and Devin Haley on base, Chase Jones came in and hit a triple scoring Chad and Devin.  John Henderson then came in and pitched the last inning for Clark and held Marshall for the win!

Way to go COOGS!!

Next up is Brandeis on Tuesday at 4:45.

Congratulations to Clark senior pitcher Chad Dullnig on Express-News recognition of his outstanding week of all around baseball during spring break with its “Player of the Week” designation. Read here.

(Note: Clark baseball fans will notice the newspaper wrongly identifies their photo as Dullnig – it’s actually another outstanding senior, Robert Martin)

The great play of Dullnig and the rest of the Clark team catapulted the Cougars back into the E-N Area baseball rankings at #8.

Way to go Coogs!!!

Clark baseball racked up four wins over spring break, outscoring their three district opponents 39-5 and beating Johnson 6-4  at the end of the week – just for fun. The highlight of the week was senior pitcher Chad Dullnig’s no-hitter against Stevens, which Clark won 10-0. Chase Jones ended the game with a three-run home run in the bottom of the 6th. Dullnig was also the winning pitcher in the Cougar’s 13-3 win over Jay to start the spring break run on March 9th and he had his own home run in the 16-2 victory over Warren. Cole Bercher was on the mound against the Warriors for that win. Pitcher John Henderson got the win in the game against Johnson.
