Seven-run sixth lifts Kelly over Oran

ORAN -- Before the Oran Eagles and the Kelly Hawks began the sixth inning of their game on Tuesday afternoon, Kelly head coach Nate Wills gave a rousing pep talk to his team that reminded them they had only one hit in the previous five innings.

That motivational chat couldn't have came at a better time.

The Hawks pounded out seven runs on four hits in their half of the sixth inning which gave them a permanent lead and led to a 9-5 win over the Eagles.
