Reardan steamrolls Davenport 11-1

REARDAN – Tysen Finch and Jacob Bodeau struck out 13 batters and limited Davenport to five hits in the Screaming Eagles 11-1 win, Tuesday, March 25.

The Gorillas took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning on a run scored by Colby Kiser. In the bottom of the inning, Reardan scored two of its own on Hunter Flaa's double, making the score 2-1.

From then on, the game belonged to the Screaming Eagles, who picked up three runs in the fourth inning, four in the fifth and two in the sixth for the 11-1 win.

Colton Lonning and Brody Angell each collected two hits for Reardan and Hunter Flaa drove in two runs. Karsten Flaa, Nolan Vinson and Levi Collier each had one hit. The Screaming Eagles notched 10 walks, three by Owen Long. Lonning, Angell, Hunter Flaa, Collier, Long and Maveric Sobotta all scored runs for Reardan.

Finch ruled the mound for the Screaming Eagles. He gave up four hits and struck out nine batters to earn the win in his four inning appearance.

Kiser led Davenport with two hits in three at bats and scored the Gorillas' only run of the game. Israel Rasmussen, Carl Medhaug and Pablo Gutierrez each had one hit.

"We started slow," Reardan head coach Bobby Green said, "but we eventually got things going. Our pitching carried us again. Tysen (Finch) was amazing, and Jacob (Bodeau) did really good on the mound. We are going to keep living off of our pitching until our bats and base running picks up."

With the win, Reardan improves to 2-0. The loss dropped Davenport to 0-3.
