Braxton Lewis and Cam Raddatz both belted three-run homers and Kaden Koberlein allowed only one hit, leading the Effingham Hearts to an 8-0 win at home Friday afternoon over Flora.

Koberlein came within an out of recording a complete game. He allowed just a fourth-inning single, while walking two and striking out three in 6.2 innings of work. Rylan Pals came in and got the final out.

The Hearts scored all the runs they would need in the first. Koberlein walked and Colton Webb singled. With two outs, Spencer Fox delivered a run-scoring base hit and Lewis followed with a three-run blast over the leftfield fence to stake EHS to a 4-0 lead.

Effingham used the long ball to increase that lead in the fourth. This time, it was Raddatz’s turn. With two outs, Kaiden Nichols and Koberlein singled and Raddatz then deposited a pitch over the leftfield fence to make it 7-0.

The Hearts are now 15-6. They will play at Taylorville today (Saturday) in an Apollo Conference doubleheader.
