In Hampden Saturday afternoon, Austin Ivey pitched five innings striking out five to earn the victory as Kiwanis pounded out 17 hits on their way to a 16-10 win over HRH. The Kiwanis win was their first of the season (1-8), while HRH falls to 3-6.

Kiwanis broke open a 3-1 lead in the top of the third inning scoring nine runs to post a 12-1 lead. HRH was unable to gain any ground, as each inning they scored Kiwanis came back in their next at bat to score the same number of runs to keep HRH in an 11 run deficit.

HRH came into the bottom of the sixth trailing 16-5 and for the second straight game mounted a rally in their final at bat. They scored five runs to close the gap to 16-10, but came up short as the 11 run deficit was to much to overcome.
