ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. - Randyn Carter belted a pair of home runs for the  fourth-ranked Kirkwood Eagles Monday in Kansas.

One of Carter's homers came in a 3-2 loss to 19th-ranked Cowley  County. The other homer came in an 18-6 romp over Cowley in the second  game of their doubleheader.

The split left Kirkwood with a 13-4 record for the season.

Erin Hocker was the hard-luck losing pitcher for the Eagles in the 3-2  loss in the first game. All three of Cowley's runs against Hocker were  unearned thanks to three errors.

Taleah Smith, Stewart, Lauren Klaahsen, Jayme Finn and Shelby Hulsebus  drove in two runs. Autum Barthelman scored four runs. Carter scored  three times. Kuch, Jackson and Stewart scored twice.

Jackson, Stewart and Klaahsen joined Carter in the home-run parade in  Game 2. Stewart collected two doubles.

Bradee Bouman was the beneficiary of all that offense and cruised to  the victory after Kirkwood built a 17-1 lead in the top of the fourth.
