ASHBURN, VA - Today, rising senior Taylor Clarke (Broad Run HS - 2011) made a verbal commitment to accept an athletic scholarship to pitch at Division I, Towson University in Maryland.

As a junior, Clarke was a 2nd-Team All-Region selection as a Pitcher for the Spartans. He was a 1st Team Dulles All-District selection as well. On the year, Clarke had a 9-1 record on the mound. He struck out 72 batters on the season and only walked 3. His ERA was 1.83 for the year. As a sophomore he was 4-2 on the mound so his career pitching record is 13-3.

Clarke was outstanding in the post-season for the Spartans this year throwing complete game wins over Briar Woods and Sherando High School in the Dulles District and Region Tournaments. In those two playoff games he struck out a combined 17 batters and walked none.

Towson University is a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). Beside playing their CAA schedule, Towson played one of the most difficult schedules in the nation last year Tigers taking on Arizona State, University of Virginia, and the University of Maryland.
