Kennewick American is off to a good start at the Cal Ripken 10-year-old World Series, winning its first two games.

KA beat Riley, Ind., 6-5 in nine innings on Friday, then topped Vincennes Green 10-0 on Saturday as Angel Correa and Hunter Van Hollebeke combined for a three-hitter.

The Kennewick team, which leads the American Division at 2-0, is off Sunday, but returns to action Monday against Midwest Plains.
