Lefty Weston Clark struck out 17 Sweetwater batters and limited the host Devils to two hits in fashioning a 1-0 shutout gem in the Bully's East Tournament Thurs., March 19.
Senior Thomas Zlatic drove in Luke Bucon in the top of the fourth inning for the only run of the game, and went 3-for-3 with a double.
With no score early in the game, Clark (2-0) yielded a pop fly to shallow right field with a Sweetwater runner on first base. The ball dropped between fielders, but a nifty throw to Timmy Holdgrafer at second got the forceout on the runner, who had held up on the flyball.
Then, with the Devils having put a runner on third base with two outs, in the bottom of the third, Clark was able to get a foul-tip third strike swinging to end the inning and escape the threat.
Clark held on to record the win, as the Vikings (4-1) prevailed by the single run.
