Retif Oil scored seven runs in the 2nd inning and added three more in the 4th to trigger the 10-run rule in an American Legion game Friday against the John Curtis Patriots at Kirsch-Rooney Stadium.

Retif’s 10-0 win was the fifth win against one loss of the young summer American Legion season.

Retif pitchers Jack Burk and Glynn Hyer were an effective 1-2 punch with Hyer clocking the win, his first of the Legion season.

Catcher Trent Forshag led Retif offensively with two hits, including a double. He accounted for 4 RBIs. Alex Galy, Scott Crabtree, and Matt Cedro all singled and each had 2 RBIs.
