WORCESTER, Mass. — Freshman Michael Mainuli twirled a complete-game three-hitter, propelling Clark University to a 9-0 win over the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in non-conference baseball action on Tuesday afternoon.

Mainuli (1-0) was dazzling in picking up his first career win, striking out 11 while walking just three batters.

In today’s victory, Mainuli came out firing, striking out five of the first nine batters he faced. While Mainuli was containing the Trailblazer line-up, the Clark offense gave him an early cushion.

The Cougars put the game away in the fourth on a sacrifice fly from Ian Farrell and a two-run home run from Nick Kellogg. Kellogg’s blast to left looked as if it might be caught, but bounced off the glove of MCLA outfielder Cody Weaver and caromed over the fence.

Daniel Gaines started the game for the Trailblazers, going 3.2 innings, allowing seven hits and seven runs – only three of which were earned.


Chase Priete was MCLA’s most effective pitcher after moving to the mound from second base, tossing three innings of no-hit relief.

Matthew Bohl went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of stolen bases for Clark, while James Cadogan and Carter each had two hits as well.

The Cougars (3-11) will return to the diamond on Thursday with a home contest against Daniel Webster, while the Trailblazers host Norwich tomorrow.

Clarksburg Sees Race for Select Board Seat

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town will see a three-way race for a seat on the Select Board in May. 
 
Colton Andrews, Seth Alexander and Bryana Malloy returned papers by Wednesday's deadline to run for the three-year term vacated by Jeffrey Levanos. 
 
Andrews ran unsuccessfully for School Committee and is former chairman of the North Adams Housing Authority, on which he was a union representative. He is also president of the Pioneer Valley Building Trades Council.
 
Malloy and Alexander are both newcomers to campaigning. Malloy is manager of industrial relations for the Berkshire Workforce Board and Alexander is a resident of Gates Avenue. 
 
Alexander also returned papers for several other offices, including School Committee, moderator, library trustee and the five-year seat on the Planning Board. He took out papers for War Memorial trustee and tree warden but did not return them and withdrew a run for Board of Health. 
 
He will face off in the three-year School Committee seat against incumbent Cynthia Brule, who is running for her third term, and fellow newcomer Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. 
 
Incumbent Ronald Boucher took out papers for a one-year term as moderator but did not return them. He was appointed by affirmation in 2021 when no won ran and accepted the post again last year as a write-in.
