Matt Unruh highlighted Ripon Christian’s six-run sixth inning with a two-RBI homer. Clayton Prins and Faye (3 for 4) chipped in with run-scoring singles.
Josh Evans logged five innings from the hill for the Knights (1-2), striking out six. He also scattered nine hits and three walks. Rodney DeVries had two strikeouts but gave up three hits and two walks in his one inning of work.
Ripon Christian continues its preseason schedule today against visiting Waterford. The first pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
