REYNOLDSVILLE – Coming off back-to-back losses to unbeaten DuBois and second-place Punxsutawney, Clearfield got back on the winning track in the Jefferson County Legion League with a five-inning, 16-2 Mercy Rule victory over Reynoldsville Thursday evening.
Â
Corey Bookhamer pitched a five-hitter, striking out six and walking none, while Andrew Redden paced a 12-hit attack with a home run and two singles, driving in four runs.
Â
Justin Hoffman and Kyler Kephart singled and doubled and chipped in two RBIs apiece.
Â
Both runs off Bookhamer were unearned because of a two-out error in the first inning.
Â
The Chiefs, who got a two-run homer from Redden in the top of the first, responded with three runs in the second, Jarrett Fulmer knocking in one with a double and then scoring on a single by Hoffman.
Â
Manager Sid Lansberry’s team erupted for 11 runs in the fifth.
Â
Redden had two hits and two RBIs, Kephart clubbed a two-run double and Shane Harper, Hoffman and Derrick Snyder added RBI-singles.
Â
The Chiefs are 9-4 in the JCL and 10-4 for the season.
Â
