The George Rogers Clark baseball team picked up it where it left off with an 18-2 rout of Paris in five innings Tuesday afternoon.
The Cardinals (2-7) led 4-2 going into the sixth inning, but broke the game open with a 13-run outburst in the sixth for the final margin. Clark banged out 14 hits against the Hounds and pitchers Logan McQuerry and Trevor Back combined on a three-hitter for Clark.
McQuerry threw the first five innings and allowed three hits and both runs scored by the hosts. McQuerry struck out three betters, while Back fanned one hitter in his only inning of work in the sixth frame.
