In 1996, Clark helped the Minutemen to an Atlantic 10 Championship and a school-record 40 wins, including three victories in the NCAA Regional Championships. A two-time team captain, Clark also had a banner season in 1997 when he broke into the single-season record lists in hits (second all-time, 76), RBI (third, 60), total bases (third, 123) and batting average (fourth, .415).
After his collegiate career, Clark was drafted by San Francisco in the seventh round of the 1998 MLB draft. He played in 14 games with the Giants and the Oakland A's. From 1998 to 2007, he played Minor League Baseball in the Giants, A's and Atlanta Braves organizations where he had a batting average of .289.
