It was a successful close to the first week of the regular season for the Keota baseball team on Monday when they left no doubt against Twin Cedars winning on the road 10-0.
The Eagle bats kept the pressure on all night by scoring twice in the first, three times in the second, once in the third, and four more in the fifth to snatch the mercy-run win after five innings. The offense had seven hits and eight walks with Colten Clarahan going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one run scored. Caden Clarahan was plated three times and picked up two knocks with one RBI. Colten Clarahan managed the win on the hill retiring all 12 batters he faced including 11 via strikeout in only 50 pitches.
Keota closed the opening week 2-1 and they have their first South Iowa Cedar League game tonight at Belle Plaine.
