Kiel waltzed into their match on Thursday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They put the hurt on the Two Rivers Purple Raiders with a sharp 10-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Raiders, who have now won ten contests by eight runs or more so far this season.

Cade Voelker made a splash no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.

Voelker wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Caden Milbrath, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs and one double.

Kiel's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-3. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Two Rivers, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-12.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Kiel beat the Purple Raiders by a score of 4-0 later that day.
