The Alliance Spartan seniors earned a win Wednesday night and the reason is very clear, Christian Clear that is.

Throwing a five-inning complete game and allowing just four hits Clear pitched Alliance to a 10-2 win over the Chadron Nationals Wednesday at Bower-Shankland Field.  Clear ignited the Spartans offense at the plate too, going 2-for-3 with a double and four RBI.

Chadron briefly held a 2-1 before Alliance went on top with a pair of runs in the third followed by seven more runs in the fourth and fifth innings to win via the eight-run rule after five.

Kellon Hall had a pair of hits and drove in three Alliance runs.  Keegan Barker chipped in too with a 2-for-2 night, two RBIs and two runs scored.

Alliance is now 2-0 in seniors competition against Chadron this summer and the Nationals saw a three game winning streak snap as the team’s record dips to 6-3.  Alliance is 5-6-1.

Alliance also won the juniors game, 2-1, sending Chadron to a 3-5 mark.

Chadron is on the road tonight (Thursday) to face McCook in a seniors match-up while the juniors get the weekend off before heading to Sidney next Tuesday.
