Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Winter Haven, Fla. - Behind sophomore hurler James Wilson (Chatham, N.J.) and a five-hit day from classmate Mitchell DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.), Clark bounced back from a two losses with a pair of victories over Northland College (Wis.) by the scores of 8-3 and 11-2 on Monday afternoon.

Wilson tossed the first complete game of his career in the nightcap, allowing just two earned runs, while striking out 12 and yielding just one walk.

After giving up single runs in each of the first two innings, Wilson found his groove and retired the final 15 batters he faced, including striking out the side in the sixth and five of the last six batters of the game.

The Cougars broke the game open in the sixth when they plated five runs - three more of which came on bases loaded walks.

In game two, Clark jumped out to a 7-0 lead powered by a leadoff homerun from Stephen DeMartino (East Haven, Conn.) and a two-run second inning double.

DeLorenzo added an RBI single in the fifth to wrap up the Cougar scoring.

On the mound, meanwhile, Brendan Solecki (Portsmouth, R.I.) tossed a complete game, six-hitter, striking out ten and walking just one batter.

In addition to DeLorenzo's 3-for-5, three RBI performance in game two, Ronald Bathrick (North Haven, Conn.), Phillip DiMarco (Bellingham, Mass.), and DeMartino all had two hits.
