Jackson Lee belted a home run and drove in four runs, while four pitchers combined to allow only four hits, helping the Effingham Hearts post a 10-3 win Friday at Flora and remain unbeaten on the spring season.

The Hearts broke on top quickly, scoring twice in the opening inning. Quest Hull led off with a base hit, but that was the only hit of the inning. Lee walked and Jack Blickem was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Max Hardiek was then hit by another pitch to force home the first run and the second tally came in on a fielder’s choice.

An error, walk and RBI singles by Gabe Eaton and Max Nelson increased the EHS lead to 4-0 in the third.

The Hearts added three more runs in the fourth. Hull started things with a base hit and Lee than smashed a two-run homer that sailed over the leftfield fence. Following two walks, Christian Raddatz delivered an RBI single to make it 7-0.

Flora tallied three times in the bottom of the sixth, but the Hearts came back with three of their own in the seventh. Two walks and a base hit by Eaton loaded the bases. One run scored on a fielder’s choice and Lee then followed with a triple that drove in the final two runs of the contest.

Kalen Reardon pitched the first four innings and looked real good. He didn’t allow a run and gave up just one hit. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out seven. Jackson Doedtman pitched two innings and Gauge Massey one to complete the game.

The Hearts, now 8-0, are scheduled to play at home today (Saturday) against Charleston in an Apollo Conference contest. The first pitch is scheduled for 10 a.m.
