CONWAY — The Kennett High baseball team remained in the hunt for a home playoff game by going 1-1 last week. The Eagles fell 12-0 at Bow on Wednesday but rebounded nicely at home to top Pembroke Academy 9-6 on Thursday.
The win lifted KHS to 6-6 and into ninth place in Division II with six games left in the regular season. A top-eight finish would earn the Eagles a home playoff game.
