NEWTON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Monarchs scored three runs in the top of the first inning and tacked on three more in the fifth to provide enough runs to defeat the Newton Rebels 8-6 in Newton on Monday night.
Blake Bradford continued to hit the ball well with three RBI's on the night and Cole Toureau pitched seven innings only giving up two hits to get the win.
