Penguins Fall to Clackamas in Conference Opener

VANCOUVER, WA – Game 1 - Clackamas used a late offensive surge and a dominant pitching performance from K. West to cruise past Clark, 8-1, in an NWAC matchup on Tuesday afternoon.

West not only went the distance in the circle, allowing just one earned run on four hits while striking out three, but also helped her own cause at the plate, smashing a solo home run as part of Clackamas' offensive attack.

Clark (2-6) struck first in the opening inning when A. Griffith doubled and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Kiarra Webb. However, that was all the offense the Penguins could muster, as West settled in and shut them down for the remainder of the game.

Clackamas (5-7) responded in the second and third innings, tying the game on an RBI hit by A. McArthur before taking the lead for good in the third. The Cougars then broke the game open with a three-run fifth, highlighted by a bases-clearing triple from J. Rush. Another three-run burst in the sixth inning put the game out of reach, with West's homer capping off the scoring.

Clark's defense struggled, committing three errors that contributed to Clackamas' big innings. Meanwhile, Clark's starter, Lily Ferres, battled through seven innings but took the loss after giving up eight runs (five earned) on six hits.

Clackamas outlasted Clark 8-7 in a back-and-forth battle that was cut short after six innings due to lack of daylight at Raines Field on Tuesday evening.

The Cougars (7-7) used a combination of timely hitting and aggressive base running to claim the victory, overcoming an early deficit against the Penguins (2-8). The game featured multiple lead changes, with Clackamas pulling ahead for good with a key insurance run in the sixth inning before the umpires called the game.

Clark took an early 1-0 lead in the first, but Clackamas responded immediately, tying the game in the third and then exploding for three runs in the fourth to take control. Clark answered with three of its own in the bottom of the inning, setting up a tense final stretch.

LeBreton led the way for Clackamas, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a stolen base, while K. Petersen added a key two-run double and swiped two bags. T. Thompson also chipped in with three hits, keeping the Cougar offense rolling.

On the mound, J. Bents got the win despite allowing four earned runs over three innings of work, while K. West provided three innings of relief to secure the victory.

Clark's Gabriela Ventura turned in a strong performance at the plate, going 4-for-4 with two RBIs and two stolen bases. The Penguins kept the pressure on with seven hits and aggressive base running, but Clackamas' defense held firm when it mattered most.

With daylight fading, the game was called after the sixth inning, sealing the one-run victory for Clackamas. The Cougars will look to carry their momentum forward, while Clark aims to bounce back when they travel to Longview, Washington to take on Lower Columbia (10-0, 2-0) Friday, March 21st.
