COLLINSVILLE — One day, two games, two wins.

That’s the week the Collinsville High School baseball team had as they swept a doubleheader against SWC foe East St. Louis on April 24 at Fletcher Field.

The wins raised the CHS record to 11-12 overall and 3-3 in the SWC.

In the opener, Collinsville took a 13-1 victory in five innings thanks in part to the Kahoks having enough patience to draw 14 walks.

Collinsville added five hits to the ledger as well.

Among Collinsville’s walk total, Kris Alcorn, Ethan Bagwell, Carson Parrill, Blaine Martinez and Jace Madura all had two walks each.

Alcorn, Berry, Cole McClusky, Keaton Call and Luke Robinson all pitched for CHS.

In the nightcap, CHS had a big four-run inning in the bottom of the first then tacked on 14 runs in the bottom of the second to go up 18-0. The game ended after the top of the third inning.

Madura, Martinez and Mason Hartman combined for a no-hitter striking out eight of the 10 Flyer hitters and hitting one batter.
