MIFFLINTOWN – The Clearfield Area High School baseball team made short work of a long trip by Friday, rolling past Juniata 15-0 in three innings in their Mountain League crossover make-up game.
Â
Derek Danver ran his hitting streak to 11 games with a home run and two singles, while driving in four runs, to pace the Bisons’ 12-hit attack.
Â
Jarrett Fulmer and Andrew Redden had pairs of hits and RBIs.
Â
All three had two in in the first inning when Clearfield (6-7) sent 13 batters to the plate to give pitcher Tyler Jacobson a 9-0 cushion before he went to the mound.
Â
Danver punctuated the outburst with a three-run homer, his fourth of the season.
Â
Christian Lezzer singled across two runs, and Redden, Trevor Flanagan, Drew Brown and Fulmer had RBIs.
Â
The Bisons came right back with six runs in the second inning, combining three hits with three walks and two Juniata errors.
Â
Jacobson gave up three hits, struck out two and walked one.
Â
Flanagan has hit safely nine games in a row, while Redden has hits in 10 of his last 11 games and Jacobson in nine of his last 10.
Â
The Mercy Rule loss was the fifth in as many days by 15 or more runs for Juniata (0-15).
Â
Clearfield will be at home Saturday for a 2 p.m. Mountain League Allegheny Division make-up game with Philipsburg-Osceola.
