Sparked by a strong pitching performance, Kendall downed Oak Glen, West Virginia 5-1 Monday night in the Eagles first game at the Cal Ripken Experience at Myrtle Beach.

Nic Cole hurled a 4 hitter with 13 strikeouts for the Eagles.

Cole, Jonny Conte, CJ D’Agostino and Vinnie D’Agostino each banged out two hits to lead the offense.

Kendall moved on top to stay early by scoring solo runs in each of the first three innings.

In the first inning, CJ D’Agostino singled and came home on a single by Cole. Luca D’Agostino then had an RBI single in the second inning and an error plated the third inning tally which was set up by a single by Conte.

Kendall capped off the win with a pair of runs in the seventh on a triple by CJ D’Agostino and a single by Vinnie D’Agostino. A single by Conte set up the threat.

Kendall will next face Buckeye, Ohio at the Cal Ripken Experience on Thursday.
