Former Muldrow pitcher sees action in weekend series for Lincoln University

By DAVID SEELEY SPORTS EDITOR

ROLLA, Mo. — Former Muldrow pitcher Jacob Claborn saw action in last weekend’s series against the host Missouri University of Science and Technology.

In last Friday’s 6-4 loss to Missouri S&T, Claborn pitched the final inning, while he got two outs early in Friday’s 22-1 loss.

The only game the Blue Tigers, who finished the season with an overall record of 6-42 and a record of 4-28 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play, won came in last Saturday’s series finale, capturing an 8-4 win. They lost the series opener 14-4 on May 1.

Claborn went 2-3 this season with seven strikeouts in 27.2 innings pitched in relief.
