Clearwater won its second straight Ozark Foothills Conference tournament title Monday afternoon at Raider Field in a pitcher's duel, 1-0, over Twin Rivers.

The Tigers were held to just one hit off of Twin Rivers pitcher Garret Stockton.

Stockton pitched a complete game with three Ks and got 12 ground ball outs.

Chris Kirkpatrick was the winning pitcher for Clearwater with 12 Ks on the day while allowing two hits.

Doniphan won the third-place game in a much more offensive game by the score of 10-7 over East Carter.

The Dons' big inning came in the fourth when they scored six runs.

East Carter's Coleton Powell made it a one-run game at 8-7 in the top of the sixth with a grand slam.
