The Cold Spring Silver Springers improved to 9-1 (6-0 league) as they completed a doubleheader sweep over the Alexandria Classic Clippers by winning 10-0 on Sunday afternoon at Springer Park.  The offense continued to sputter as the Silvers only collected six hits in the game, but they were able to take advantage of five Alexandria errors and five walks.  On the mound, Joe Kounkel hurled his second consecutive complete game shutout and the team's second shutout of the day by scattering four hits, one walk, and striking out six.
