Purdy scored in five straight frames en route to an 11-1 run-rule win over College Heights Christian on Monday at Joe Becker Stadium.

The Eagles (5-2) scored multiple runs in four of the five innings and also received a stellar pitching performance from Hunter Lee.

Lee went all five innings on the hill, allowing just one run on two hits. He struck out five and walked just one.

Purdy recorded 11 hits, with five different players getting into the act. 

Lee also got it done at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two RBI. 

Ezequiel Garcia drove in three runs for the Eagles, while Travis Hughes had two RBI. Bosten Goetz, Trey Hughes, Zach Henderson and Garcia all scored two runs apiece.

Caleb Evans and Ben Thomas had one hit apiece for the Cougars. 

CHC’s Austin Miller went three innings on the mound, allowing seven earned runs on four hits and two walks. Kelton Welch tossed two innings, giving up four earned runs on three hits and two walks.

The Eagles plated two runs in the first and second innings to go up 4-0 before a three-run third made it 7-0. 

The Cougars got on the board in the fourth. Nicholas Brueggemann reached on an error before Evans and Thomas both singled and Welch drove in a run with a groundout.

The Eagles responded with three more runs in the bottom half. Purdy added a single tally in the fifth to end the game early due to the run-rule. 

College Heights (1-4) meets McAuley Catholic (2-0) at 5 on Tuesday. The Warriors defeated Sheldon 26-3 on Monday.
