One big scoring inning keyed Kendall to a 6-1 victory over Buckeye (Ohio) today at the Cal Ripken Experience at Myrtle Beach.

Leading 1-0, the Eagles broke the game open by erupting for 5 runs in the fourth inning. Three runs came home off a single by winning pitcher Vinnie D’Agostino. A RBI sacrifice fly by Jonny Conte and an error plated the other two tallies.

Singles by Jacob Abrams and Andrew Cole and a walk loaded the bases to set up the threat.

Vinnie D’Agostino also drove in Kendall’s first run of the day with a sacrifice fly in the third inning following singles by Conte and CJ D’Agostino.

Conte, Cole and CJ D’Agostino each finished with a pair of hits.

The Bucks lone run came in the bottom of the fourth on a single, double and wild pitch.

Vinnie D’Agostino pitched the first five innings allowing 2 hits and striking out 5. CJ D’Agostino came on to hurl the final two frames giving up 1 hit and fanning 1.

Kendall improves to 3-0 while Buckeye, which interestingly is from Medina, Ohio, is 3-2.
