Keeping the foot on the gas is what the Keota baseball team did last night in non-conference action by downing Melcher-Dallas 9-1 at home. 

The Eagles scored multiple runs in the first, third, fifth, and sixth frames en route to a decisive victory. The offense had 10 hits against the Saints (9-13) with Caden Clarahan going 3-for-4 with two RBI. Caleb Waterhouse was 2-for-3 with two runs knocked in. Colten Clarahan threw six innings on the hill without allowing an earned run on four hits and striking out 16 batters. Keota is now 16-5 overall. The softball team welcomed Tri-County (12-12) for South Iowa Cedar League play and fell by an 11-0 count to drop to 0-18 on the season.
