Newton found a leader in Nolen Cleaver as the team took down Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City on Friday. Cleaver turned in nothing short of a gem, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk).
Looking ahead, Cleaver and Newton will face off against Effingham at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Effingham will enter the matchup having just beaten Marion, so Newton will have to guard against a team looking to keep the ball rolling.
