Kent City won against Kelloggsville on Saturday with ten runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Monday. The Eagles put the hurt on the White Cloud Indians with a sharp 10-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won seven games by eight runs or more so far this season.

Zach Flegel spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on two hits and racked up 11 Ks. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Kent City is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 5-7 otherwise.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Aaron Vanderwest, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Harrison Smith also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Kent City pushed their record up to 8-7 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.5 runs on average over those games. As for White Cloud, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-14 record this season.

Kent City will have a chance to go back-to-back against White Cloud: the pair will be back at it again later today.
