PENTWATER — The Onekama baseball team already had the West Michigan D League clinched.

Next on the radar was perfection.

The Portagers accomplished that task Wednesday by sweeping a doubleheader against Pentwater to wind up the league schedule and finish with an unblemished 14-0 record.

Onekama, who is 18-10 overall, rolled to a 28-1 win in the opener in four innings, before finishing the nightcap with a 19-4 victory in three.

“We got off to a great start in that first game and things kept going our way,” said Onekama coach John Neph. “(Finishing the league without a loss) was one of our goals this week. We wanted to get that done if we could, and we got it done.”

In the opener, Onekama’s Thomas Koon picked up the win while pitching three innings, giving up just three hits to go with three strikeouts. Nathan Fitch finished the game in the fourth with two strikeouts.
