Hendersonville, TN – Clarksville High School’s baseball rallied from an early 2-0 deficit, March 13th, to defeat Pope John Paul II by a 3-2 final to remain undefeated on the season.
The Wildcats (3-0) and starting pitcher Ben Bleyle (1-0) gave up two runs to the Knights on a two-run hit by Jacob Telli, but he settled in after that in limiting Pope John Paul to three hits over five innings of work.
Clarksville High would score all its runs in the top of the third inning, with Nolen Milton and Gabe Bowling collecting RBI hits in the rally.
Luke Chilcutt would come in and pitch two innings of shutout relief for the Wildcats, giving up one hit and two walks, while striking out two, in his two innings of work in picking up his first save of the season.
Clarksville High will return to action March 17th, as they open District 10-AAA play with a 6:30pm contest at Kenwood High School. A junior-varsity game will precede it, starting at 4:30pm.
