KANKAKEE — A strong outing from Ethan Krei helped the Sandburg baseball team almost knock off 12th-ranked Kankakee in Game 1, but the Chargers came up short in both ends of a road doubleheader against the Cavaliers on Monday.

Key moments
• Down 3-1 in the top of the fourth inning, the Chargers tied the game on a two-out, two-run single to right by Brady Veselack.
• Following a leadoff double, the Cavaliers plated the go-ahead run with two out in the sixth. Starter Ethan Krei hit a batter and was relieved on the mound by Yasiel Trinidad, who issued back-to-back walks to force the leading run across.
• Joel Medina led off the seventh with a double for the Chargers, but a lineout and consecutive strikeouts ended the contest.

Krei was saddled with the loss despite a strong pitching line. The freshman lefthander from Metamora allowed two earned runs on six hits and a walk across 5.2 innings of work. Krei struck out three batters and threw 58 of 96 pitches for strikes.
