The Helper American Legion team is continuing their winning ways.
Continuing with Utah Valley league action on Wednesday, Helper played Granger at home and won 6-3.Thursday night they traveled to take on East and posted an impressive 11-0 victory to move their record to 11-1.
For the Wednesday game Jaren McCourt pitched a complete game and got the win. In contrast to the day before, Helper jumped out early and left little in doubt. Julian Tamllos had a big double in first inning and later scored. Kash Jewkes had a RBI single in the third inning and Seth Tryon had a three-run homer in the fourth. They finished up with a final run in the fifth.
"We played solid defense," said coach Jeff Cisneros. "This was a good win against a team that was only one loss behind us in the standings."
On the road game against East, Helper hurler Dakota Cisneros took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before East's leadoff man got a single. Cisneros finished the game allowing one hit and no runs.
Helper jumped out to a early 6-0 lead after the first inning. Doubles by Hayden Basinger, McCourt and Tryon were the big hits in the inning. Gage Bell also had a RBI single.
Helper piled on a pair in the third on a triple by Bell. The three additional Helper runs in the fifth were icing on the big win.
" We hit the ball very well and got some great defense and pitching. The win put us at 11-1 in the league," Cisneros said.
Helper travels to Kearns on Monday and then Murray on Wednesday for a game at 7 p.m. The schedule had them playing a double header at 5:30 and 8 p.m. but that has changed. Helper's last home game will be Friday night at 7 p.m. with Taylorsville.
