CC splits two games with Otero Junior College

By Fred Gray

Clarendon College split a double header with Otero Junior College, last Monday, March 19, in La Junta, Colo. The Bulldogs lost an extra innings heartbreaker in the opener, 4-3. In the second game, the Bulldogs pounded Otero 9-3.

They then travelled to Snyder for four games against Western Texas College. In the opener, Sam Ouellet, the Canadian fireballer pitched a sparkling seven inning shutout, powering the Bulldogs to a 3-0 win. Clarendon College then dropped the next three games when their bats went quiet.

Chris Joblin, the Bulldog’s skipper, said that they were not swinging the bat well. Joblin added that the Bulldogs continue to pitch well and play good defense. They are going through a spell where they are not getting the run support they need. Aussie Alex Howe continues to consistently hit well.

Before returning to Clarendon on April 3, the Bulldogs travel to Big Spring for four away games against Howard College.

Clarendon College is now 8 and 4 in conference play, which puts them in a third place tie.
