Game 1: 

Wyatt Cooley led the charge for the Clinton Junior Varsity Redwolves on Tuesday, driving in four runs on three hits in a dominant 14-0 shutout victory over the Hanover-Horton JV Comets. Cooley was clutch early, singling in both the first and second innings to bring home two runs each time.

Clinton jumped out to an early lead in the first inning, capitalizing on two errors and a series of patient at-bats. Kyler Pawlowski’s fielder’s choice plated a run, while Jake Halchishak and Brock Worden each drew bases-loaded walks to force in runs. Cooley capped off the inning with a two-RBI single to extend the lead.

The Redwolves continued to pour it on in the second, scoring five more runs on just two hits. Zack Andrews was hit by a pitch to bring in one run, Worden added a two-RBI single, and Cooley followed with another two-run single to pad Clinton’s lead.

On the mound, Caleb Ernst was nearly untouchable. The right-hander threw a five-inning no-hitter, striking out eight and walking just two to earn the win.

Both Worden and Cooley drove in four runs apiece, while Ernst contributed at the plate with three walks. Clinton displayed excellent plate discipline throughout the game, drawing 10 walks in total.

Defensively, the Redwolves were flawless, committing no errors and turning one double play. Lucas Coughlin led the team with eight chances in the field.

Game 2: 

Wyatt Cooley had a standout performance at the plate, going 3-for-4 as the Clinton Junior Varsity Redwolves cruised to a 14-1 victory over the Hanover-Horton JV Comets on Tuesday.

Cooley helped set the tone early, driving in a run with a single in the first inning. He followed up with another RBI single in the second and capped his day with a double down the left-field line in the third.

Clinton broke the game wide open with a nine-run second inning. Brock Worden and Jake Halchishak each delivered two-run singles, while Cooley added another RBI hit. Cyle McLeod’s lineout brought in a run, followed by a wild pitch that plated another. Max Walden and Bronson Handy each added RBI singles to round out the inning.

The Redwolves kept the pressure on in the third inning with three more runs. Cooley’s double, McLeod’s RBI single, and a sacrifice tag-up by Caleb Ernst extended the lead further.

Zack Andrews earned the win for Clinton, pitching five strong innings while allowing just four hits and one run. He struck out seven and walked two. 

Clinton’s offense racked up 12 hits in total, with Walden and Ernst both collecting multiple hits. Halchishak led the team in patience at the plate with three walks, as Clinton drew six free passes overall.
