SEASIDE — Banks built a quick 5-0 lead Monday, on its way to a 10-0 Cowapa League baseball win over Seaside at Broadway Field.

The Braves collected 11 hits, while Banks starter Blake Gobel silenced the Seaside bats to help the Braves remain in a first place tie with Astoria.

Gobel had just one strikeout, but he had the Seaside batters off-balance and hitting lots of fly balls. The Gulls had four base hits, while Gobel walked one and threw six solid innings (59 pitches) before giving way to Tyler Lilly in the seventh.

Meanwhile, the Braves scored two runs in the first and added three in the second, highlighted by a two-run single from Dakota Bunn.

Hayden Vandehey had three singles for Banks, and also drove in three runs.

Seaside pitchers Payton Westerholm and Gage McFadden combined for three strikeouts and four walks. A pair of double plays helped the Gulls get out of a couple jams, but the Braves also turned two double plays, including one in the sixth when the first two Seaside batters reached base.
