Capahas stay perfect, power past Cahokia

The Burger King Capahas remain perfect on the season after picking up an 11-1 win Sunday over the host Cahokia, Illinois, Red Sox.

The Capahas (4-0), who combined for 17 hits in the game, scored seven runs in the top of the seventh inning to break the game open.

"It was a pretty good game until the seventh, and then we just strung a bunch of hits together," Capahas manager Jess Bolen said. "They had a couple errors, and that helped."

Former Notre Dame High School and current Mineral Area College standout Chase Urhahn led the way for the Capahas, finishing 4-for-6 with two RBIs.

Josh Haggerty finished 3-for-5 with a double for the Capahas, while Alex Heuring, Kyle James, Cam Womack and Shelby Brown each added a pair of hits.

The Red Sox tied the game in the bottom of the third before the Capahas went ahead for good with three runs in the top of the fourth.

Ross James threw seven innings of relief and was credited with the win on the mound. He gave up one earned run on six hits with six strikeouts and two walks.

Steven Dooley got the pitching start for the Capahas but left after the first inning with soreness in his throwing arm. He retired all three batters he faced.

Haggerty pitched an inning of relief for the Capahas, striking out two and allowing a single in the bottom of the ninth.

The Capahas return to action against the St. Louis Bulls at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Capaha Field.
