Jake Ware gave the George Rogers Clark High School baseball a charge Thursday in Winchester.

The junior threw six shutout innings and hit a two-run home run to lead the Cards to a 9-0 over Bryan Station.

Ware struck out six and walked one batter. He surrendered two hits. He was also 3-for-4 at the plate, driving in three runs.

Cameron Dove had a two-hit day, scoring twice and drawing a base on balls.

Alex Back had a pair of hits and drove in a run. JJ Johnson had a hit and a stolen base. He scored on Ware’s homer in the sixth.

Bo Billings, who also had one of GRC’s 10 hits, pitched a perfect seventh to finish off the Defenders.

The Cardinals are back in action tonight when they take on Lafayette. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.
