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.
