WELLINGTON -- Senior Kenzie Thorp's two-run homer in the fourth inning Monday gave the Santa Fe baseball team the lead en route to a 6-2 non-conference victory at Wellington-Napoleon.

In a rematch between 2007 Class 1 sectional foes, the Tigers (1-3) jumped out front on sophomore Christian Nixdorf's solo shot in the first, then got an unearned run in the second.

However, junior Logan Kirchhoff retired nine of the next two batters -- allowing only a four-hitter while winning his fourth decision.

Junior Brandon Schmidt singled in a run for the Chiefs in the second and junior Taylor Wesley's base hit preceded Thorp's blast -- his fifth of the season. Thorp later added a double and has hit safely in 15 of 20 at-bats.

Senior Logan Wesley provided two insurance runs with a two-out double in the Santa Fe fifth.

The fourth-ranked Chiefs (6-0) play Wednesday at Northwest of Hughesville.
