The Midland College baseball team made quick work of the visiting Clarendon College Bulldogs in the weekend's four-game series at Christensen Stadium. The Chaparrals outscored the Bulldogs 48-8 over the two double-headers. With the four game sweep of Clarendon College, MC improved to 30-4 this season. That includes 14-2 in the WJCAC and into a three-way tie for first place in the conference standings along with Odessa College and New Mexico Junior College. Midland College extended their unbeaten streak to 13 games heading into their next conference series against Amarillo College.
In the Clarendon College series Jorge Gil went 9-11 with seven RBI over four games. Fellow Chap Caleb Boswell went 7-10 at the plate, including five RBI. Midland College pitchers Jacob Kuhn (8-0) picked up the game one win. Freshman Jason Berglund (5-0) won game two scattering six hits over five innings and five strikeouts. Logan Flores picked up his fourth win of the season and sophomore Ryan Marton recorded his fifth win (5-0) in the series finale.
Next on the schedule is a trip to Amarillo College for four games with the Badgers. Due to the possibility of inclement weather in the panhandle area this weekend, the Chaps and Badgers have began planning game post-ponements that will move the games to Sunday and Monday. Thursday through Saturday temperatures will drop, with highs in the 40's and 50's, chances of rain up to 90% change of rain and overnight chances of snow showers. The weather is expected to improve by Sunday and Monday.
Go Chaps!
