CONWAY — There’s no quit in the Kennett High baseball team. The Eagles came from behind twice last week to beat two longtime rivals in a pair of one-run games and improve to eighth in the Division II standings.
The hometown flock beat Carroll County neighbors Kingswood 9-8 at Coach Robert Burns Field on May 5 and then topped Berlin 7-6 at home on Thursday.
