Cape Legion wins at Arkansas Tournament

Cape Girardeau's Ford & Sons Senior American Legion baseball team received one-hit pitching from Blake Urhahn and defeated Paragould (Ark.) 2-1 Friday at the Jonesboro (Ark.) Tournament.

Ford & Sons (3-2) bounced back from Thursday's tournament opener, a 12-3 loss to Sylvan Hills (Ark.). Cape finishes pool play at 3:30 p.m. today against Batesville (Ark.). Ford & Sons is still alive to advance out of its pool and into Sunday's finals.

Urhahn carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, but he allowed an infield single and his only run. He finished with five strikeouts and two walks.

"Blake really pitched well," Cape manager Tom Reinagel said. "It was a nice win for us against a very good team that was 9-1."

Cape had just four hits, led by Kyle Diveley with two. Diveley and Seth Hudson each drove in a run.
