Daniels, Staton lead Cougars past Bobcats
MARSHALLTOWN - Zach Daniels' two-run triple in the second inning erased a 1-0 deficit and sent Kennedy past Marshalltown, 7-3, Wednesday in a non-conference baseball game.
Jared Staton swatted a home run in the Cougars' two-run third inning and was 2-for- 4.
The win was the fifth straight for Kennedy (10-8) and its eighth in its last nine games.
