Kilhoffer’s biggest blow came in the fifth inning, when he launched a three-run homer to left field, breaking a 2-2 tie. He added a two-run single in the sixth to extend Dewar’s lead.
Dewar had opened the scoring in the second thanks to a solo shot by Stoney Yaerger, but Salina bounced back with a two-run single from Landon Fain in the fourth.
The Dragons tied the game in the bottom of the fourth with a sacrifice bunt by Skelly Taylor before Kilhoffer’s homer put them ahead for good.
Aidan Tomlinson was dominant on the mound, striking out 12 and allowing just two runs on four hits over seven innings. He also issued three walks.
Yaerger finished 2-for-3, while Kilhoffer led all hitters with three hits and five RBIs.
