The Maroons struck first when Jaxon Reynolds singled to bring in Brayden Parker, who was running for Josh Bass. 

Both teams would go scoreless in the second, but Clinton came alive again when Jack Manning doubled to bring in two in the third. 

The Maroons put the game out of reach for St. T with a seven-run rally in the bottom of the fifth that started with a Ryan Pine two-run homerun, followed by consecutive doubles from Brady Stauffer, Colton Walker, Manning, and Reynolds. 

The Maroons were led by Walker, who was 2-for-2 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Manning went 2-for-4 with three RBIs while Josh Bass was 1-for-2 with a run scored.
