Jumping out to a 9-0 lead in the first two innings, top seeded Kendall went on to blank Genesee Region League foe No. 8 Byron-Bergen 11-0 in the quarterfinal round of the Section V Class C2 baseball tournament this afternoon at Kendall.
Kendall scored 4 quick runs in the first inning on a two-run error and a two-run single by Jacob Abrams. A double by Jonny Conte, a hit batter and a single by Vinnie D’Agostino loaded the bases to set up the opportunity.
Andrew Cole had a two-run single and Vinnie D’Agostino and Abrams RBI doubles to highlight a 5 run second inning.
An RBI triple by Vinnie D’Agostino and an RBI single by Andrew Cole then plated a pair of runs in the third to round out the scoring.
Vinnie D’Agostino finished with 3 hits as Andrew Cole and Abrams both had 2.
Nic Cole and Abrams combined to hurl a 2 hitter with 8 strikeouts on the mound in the five inning run rule win for the Eagles.
Improving to 18-2, Kendall will next face the winner of the No. 5 Naples vs. No. 4 Perry game on Tuesday.
