Conotton Valley extended their losing streak to four on Monday, dropping them down to 2-4. They fell 8-5 to the Malvern Hornets. Surprisingly, this marked the fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor in this series.
Garrett Reiter made the most of his time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. That double marked the first that he has hit this season. Gavin Haney was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Malvern's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-3. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
On Malvern's side, Cooper Kiehl and Cameron Good made a big impact no matter where they played. Throwing, Kiehl pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Good struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2025. At the plate, Kiehl went 2-for-4 with two RBI, while Good went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Owen Warth, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.
While Conotton Valley had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
