Baseball Recap: Ironwood Snaps Nine-Game Streak of Losses on the Road

Ironwood barely beat Kellis the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Ironwood put the hurt on Kellis with a sharp 15-2 win on Tuesday. Considering the Eagles' hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.

Lane Stilwell made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. He has become a key player for Ironwood: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 0-6 otherwise.

In other batting news, Alex Misner and Max Schattner did most of the damage at the plate: Misner scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2, while Schattner scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-4. Joshua McCormick also deserves some recognition as he got his first hits of the season.
