Chalk up another South Iowa Cedar League victory for Keota on Monday when they handled English Valleys 7-1 at home. 

The Bears (3-12, 3-9) struck first with a run in the first only to have the Eagles respond back with four in the second and the game was busted open in the sixth with a three run frame. Aidan Anderson was in control on the mound tossing a complete game three hitter with the one run being unearned and he struck out nine Bear batters. The offense collected nine hits with Caleb Waterhouse going 2-for-4 with three RBI. Anderson and Evan Vittetoe each connected on a pair of knocks. The Eagles improve to 14-4 overall and 10-2 in the league. The Keota softball team couldn’t get anything going in a 13-0 loss to the Bears to fall to 0-14 overall and 0-13 in conference. 

The purple and gold gear up for round two with Sigourney tomorrow.
