KELLY OUTSLUGS JACKSON FOR 16-11 VICTORY

BENTON -- In a day that belonged to the hitters, Kelly's bats produced the most damage for a 16-11 victory over visiting Jackson Monday.

Kelly, which improved to 11-2, accounted for 22 of the game's 35 hits with eight coming in a decisive eight-run sixth inning.

Justin Simpher led the Hawks both on the mound and with the bat. Simpher pitched six innings for the win and enjoyed a perfect 5-for-5 day at the plate with five singles that produced three RBIs. Jason Glastetter went 3-for-4 with two doubles; John Welter was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs; and Jamie Essner, 2-for-4, belted a home run.

Jackson trailed 8-7 entering the sixth inning but pushed across four runs in the inning for an 11-8 lead. Kelly then answered with its eight-run outburst off losing pitcher Lance Schlick, who was on in relief.

"It was a really wild game," said Kelly coach Mike Scott. "Jackson has an outstanding hitting team and we so far have been an outstanding hitting team."

Jackson (6-9) had 13 hits off Simpher, but were unable to mount any offense off Jim Hulshof, who pitched a perfect seventh for the Hawks.
