Duncan started and went four innings for the win. He struck out five and walked one. Kleinman went the final three innings striking out eight and walking one.
Kleinman also went 2-for-3 at the plate with a double and two runs batted in.
Ironton (19-5) had nine hits with Cameron Deere going 2-3 with a double, Jacob Sloan 1-2 with a double, Cole Freeman 1-4 and two RBI, Ryan Ashley two RBI and Chaydan Kerns was 1-1 with a triple and an RBI.
Ironton got all the runs it needed in the first inning by taking a 4-0 lead.
Kyle Howell and Jon Wylie singled, Deere was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Freeman had a two-run single.
Connor Kleinman was hit by a pitch and, Trevor Kleinman singled in a run and Ashley grounded out as a run scored.
The Fighting Tigers added a run in the third when Sloan walked, Trevor Kleinman was safe on an error and Ashley grounded out driving in the run.
