It’s been a wild ride for slow-pitch softball since it returned to Clinton High School in 2019, as the program played just one season, before CO- VID-19 shut down the program in 2020, and now, it returns with a new head coach in Shawn Finch.

Early defensive errors were smoothed over by Clinton starting pitcher Mason Walpole and reliever Caden Powell, as the duo combined for 14 strikeouts and kept the team’s lead intact to give the Reds an 8-6 win Tuesday at home over Elk City – their first of the year.

The Clinton baseball team (0-2 overall, 0-1 in district) opened district play, with a 13-3, run-rule loss at Elk City (2-2, 1-0) Monday.
