Clayton Goes Yard Twice To Lead Dawgs To 11-4 Win
February 24, 2024 | Baseball
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas βΒ Washington's bats exploded Saturday night at Whataburger Field as the Huskies picked up their first win of the season, defeating Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 11-4 on Day 2 of the Kleberg Bank College Classic.
Β
Sam Boyle picked up the win in relief, allowing a single run one hit and one walk, striking out three over 3.2 innings.
Β
With the Husky offense in desperate need of a spark, Cam Clayton lit the powder keg, hammering a leadoff bomb to put Washington up 1-0 from the get go.
Β
The Islanders responded with a run in the home half to even the score. However, Blake Wilson came through with an RBI grounder in the second, regaining the advantage for the Dawgs.
Β
Two innings later, Sam DeCarlo got off the schneid in a big way, clobbering a two-run homer for his first hit of the season, pushing the UW lead to 4-1.
Β
AJ Guerrero came home on a throwing error in the fifth to tack on another run, but a two-run home run in the bottom of the inning cut the lead in half at 5-3.
Β
In the sixth, Clayton gave the Dawgs some distance. Sitting on a 1-0 count, the Husky shortstop tattooed an inside pitch and sent it over the left field wall, a three-run shot to make it 8-3.
Β
A solo home run pulled the Islanders back a run closer in the eighth but DeCarlo got it right back with a sharp RBI single in the ninth and back-to-back bases-loaded walks expanded the lead to 11-4, closing out scoring for the night.
Β
Washington will conclude its Lone Star State stay Sunday morning, taking on Maryland at 9 a.m. PT. The game will stream live on FloBaseball, with links to live coverage available at GoHuskies.com.
