HYDE — The once-beaten Clearfield American Legion Post 6 baseball team made it three Jefferson County League wins in a row by defeating DuBois 7-2 at the Bison Sports Complex Tuesday evening.
Cade Walker limited the visitors to five hits while striking out six and walking two for his second win.
Allan Myers paced the Chiefs at the plate with a double and two singles, one run driven in and two runs scored.
Hunter Dixon added a pair of singles and an RBI.
The Chiefs broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning, with a walk to Seth Bumbarger, a single by Myers and throwing error on Walker’s sacrifice bunt producing the go-ahead run. A single by Hunter Dixon and a double-play grounder made it a 4-1 game.
Then, in the fifth, Clearfield scored three more runs to seal it, the first on a double steal with Kyle Elensky crossing the plate and the next two on RBI singles by Eli Glass and Myers.
The Chiefs will head to Elkins, W.Va., Thursday morning for their second appearance in the Hillbilly Hardball Classic.
