Benton’s Tigers continued their unbeaten ways Wednesday, taking a 12-1 triumph over the Glenbrook Apaches to record their 10th straight win.
Benton got on the board with four runs in the top of the first inning on an Apaches error, a catcher’s interference call, a Brody Turnipseed walk and a Kannon Greer groundout, each driving in a run.
Glenbrook’s lone run of the game came in the bottom of the first when Jackson Waller slammed a solo home run. Waller would end the game as the Apaches’ leading hitter with two hits in two at-bats. He also had a stolen base.
A double by Cole Snell, a single by Kade Bryant, and a wild pitch helped Benton extend their lead in the second, and the Tigers struck again in the top of the third as a Snell double and Bryant’s single each produced a run.
Jax Prewitt earned the win for Benton, giving up five hits and one run over five innings while striking out 11 and walking one. Seth Mangrum took the loss for Glenbrook.
Benton tallied 10 hits in the game, led by Snell and Bryant with three hits each. Snell also had three RBI.
Glenbrook will try to get back on the winning track Friday with a 6 p.m. home game against the Darbonne Woods Timberwolves.
