CAPE LEGION ROLLS TO PAIR OF VICTORIES IN TOURNEY

BALLWIN, Mo. -- The Cape Girardeau Ford & Sons Senior American Legion team is on some sort of tear.

Cape (16-11) knocked off Manchester 11-1 and Chesterfield 10-1 Friday in the Ballwin Tournament.

Cape has now scored 57 runs in its last four games.

Against Manchester, Jason Chavez picked up the win in eight innings of work. He allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out nine.

Timmy Wencewicz, John Snider and Barry Zieger each had two hits. Tyler Schlosser had only one hit, but made it count with a grand slam.

Justin Welker held Chesterfield to three hits in eight innings of work in the second game. He fanned eight and walked six.

Dusty Barrows pounded three doubles and a triple while driving in four runs and scoring three. Welker doubled and tripled in going 2-for-4 with three RBIs. Shane Kistner had three hits and Zac Fidler pitched in with two.

"Our meat of the order came through and drove in some runs," Cape manager Tom Reinagel said. "We're in a production mode right now."
