The new season started as planned for the Keota baseball team on Saturday when they had little trouble at home against Danville winning 12-0 in a first round class 1A district game. 

Colten Clarahan led the offense going 2-for-3 with a double and Tanner Waterhouse brought in two tallies. Clarahan managed 10 strikeouts in four innings of work on the bump allowing just two walks. Aidan Anderson retired all three batters he faced for the combined five inning no hitter. 

Keota improves to 17-5 and they are back home tonight for the second round against Burlington Notre Dame. The Nikes are 14-10 and advanced through after a 17-1 win over Wapello.
