The Cass Colonels’ offense rolled up nine runs early Monday night at home, then held on over the final four innings for a 9-4 win that completed a three-game region series sweep of Hiram.
Cass starting pitcher Jayden Smith earned the pitching victory with five innings of work. He allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out ten. Chase Botts (1 IP, 0R, 1H, 3K) and Aidan Cottingim (1 IP, 1ER, 2H, 2K) worked one inning each to close out the Colonels’ win.

Bentley Markley contributed two hits including a double and one RBI. Matt Ballas also had a pair of hits. Matt Shook drove in two runs with a double and Jordan Gani added one hit as the Colonels collected nine total hits.
The loss drops Hiram to 2-11 overall and 0-6 in Region 7-AAAAA.
