Some would define replacing Orange starting pitcher Will White on a moment’s notice as “unenviable,” but Caige Clayton stood up to the challenge on Tuesday night. Clayton struck out four in the final two innings, earning his first career save as Orange defeated Northwood 4-3 in a vital Big 8 Conference game. Earlier, Clayton had a two-run single, which turned out to be the game-winning hit as the Panthers ended a four-game losing streak. Orange is now in sole possession of 3rd place in the Big 8, behind Chapel Hill and East Chapel Hill, who are tied for 1st.
