The bats were hot for Co-Lin on Monday as the Wolves racked up 13 hits in a 12-8 win over Kaskaskia College in a round robin tournament at Sullivan Field. 

Co-Lin plated two runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a lead after an error scored Chandler Dillard and a single from Austin Tidwell pushed across Hayden White.

The Wolves’ big inning came in the bottom of the third. Austin O’Flynn scored Jaylyn Williams with a single, Craig Bradley doubled to center field and scored O’Flynn, a single from Dillard plated Bradley and Williams drew a walk with the bases loaded to score Dillard. The six-run inning gave the Wolves an 8-3 lead.
