Two years of being a quality utility player has paid off for Orange senior Caige Clayton, who signed with Division II Barton College last week. This season, Clayton leads Orange with 18 RBIs. He’s second on the team with a .361 average. In addition to playing 3rd base, Clayton is also a relief pitcher for the Panthers. He earned the first save of his career last week in Orange’s 4-3 win over defending Big 8 Champion Northwood. In 2017, Clayton joined the varsity team and hit .224 with two homes runs, 17 RBIs and five doubles. Clayton was a starter on an Orange team that went to the 3rd round of the 3A state playoffs.
