Kentwood is on a roll on the baseball diamond.

The Conquerors have started the season off 5-0 and 6-0 overall including a 6-5 victory over the Tahoma Bears on the road Monday afternoon.

The win came thanks to another strong offensive day for Kentwood and a stingy effort on the mound by Gonzaga-bound pitcher Taylor Jones, who scattered seven hits and gave up one earned run.

Carson McCord was 1-for-2 with a run scored and three RBIs, while Lucas Gately was 3-for-3 with an RBI, Cash McGuire was 1-for-3 with a run scored, Skyler Genger was 1-for-4, Reese McGuire was 1-for-2 with two runs scored and Tanner Wessling was 1-for-3 with an RBI.

With the win, Kentwood is at the top of the South Puget Sound League North standings.

On March 30 Kentwood dismantled Auburn on the road with a 13-5 victory.

The Conquerors got on the board first, taking a 2-0 lead it the top of the first inning, then just kept building on it.

In the top of the second Cash McGuire, who went 1-for-3 with two RBIs, launched a two run long ball to make it 4-0.

Reese McGuire, who led the Conks at the plate going 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs, led off the top of the sixth when he jacked a solo shot over the right field fence. He picked up his other two RBIs in the top of the seventh when he hit a line drive to center field for a double.

It was a good day at the plate for the Conks as McCord went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI, Kade Kryzsko was 1-for-2 with a double, Jones was 1-for-5 with an RBI, Dalton Cryderman was 1-for-2 with a double, Wessling was 1-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and a double and Jarrett Retz was 1-for-3.

John Bodenhammer was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI after he launched a solo shot in the bottom of the seventh to cut the Kentwood lead to 6-5 but Tahoma could get no closer.

Connor Cloyd was 1-for-4 with a run scored and a double for Tahoma while Nate Brown was 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a pair of RBIs while Ryan Malone was 1-for-4 with a run scored.

Tahoma, after starting off 3-0 in league play, dropped to 3-3 after losses last week against Kentridge and Auburn. The Bears are in fourth place in the North through April 2.

Meanwhile, Kentlake put together a 5-2 win over Auburn on Monday, scoring a run in each of the first three innings then putting up a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth.

The Falcons held the Trojans scoreless until the top of the sixth.

Kentlake improved to 4-2 in the SPSL North, second place behind Kentwood.

The Falcons and the Conks are set to collide on Wednesday after the Reporter goes to press.

Kentridge improved to 3-3 in league play with a 7-0 win over Kent-Meridian on Monday.

For the Chargers, Devin Riley was 1-for-3, Sheldon Stober was 2-for-4, Carl Derline was 2-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI and a pair of doubles, Joel Condreay was 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and two RBIs while Tyler Tinney made the most of his at bat when he launched a home run.
