North Callaway put another one in the bag on Monday to keep their perfect season alive. They blew past the California Pintos 9-2. The Thunderbirds might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three contests by seven runs or more this season.
Keaton Bell made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. That stolen base was his first of the season.
In other batting news, Chance Green and Coltyn Oneal did most of the damage at the plate: Green scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances, while Oneal scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases Green has posted since back in March of 2024.
