A couple wins greeted the Keota baseball team to start the week with victories over Iowa Valley and Lone Tree.

The Eagles had a successful road trip to Marengo on Tuesday where they downed the Tigers 5-2 in part by a three run first inning. Cole Kindred had three of the team’s six hits and the sophomore brought in one run. Evan Vittetoe had a knock and brought in two tallies. Aidan Anderson picked up the win on the mound tossing four innings of scoreless ball giving up two hits, one walk, and striking out eight. The next night Caden Clarahan threw a gem in Lone Tree to propel the Eagles to a 3-0 win. His offense produced a run in the second and two in the fourth and that was all the freshman needed, as he completed five innings surrendering just two hits and recorded eight punch outs. Eight Keota batters recorded singles with Colten Clarahan having two RBI. The purple and gold moved to 6-2 overall. The softball team lost to Iowa Valley 12-0 and then was swept in a doubleheader to Tri-County by matching 10-0 scores. They drop to 0-6 on the year. 

Both Eagles squads host Belle Plaine tonight.
