From the Junction City Post
The Junction City Brigade scored 10 runs, had 12 hits, drew two walks, and had two batters hit by a pitch. Despite that they barely held on to defeat the Rossville Rattlers 10-8 Thursday night in game one of their Cowdin Cup Playoffs semifinal round series at Rathert Field in Junction City. This is the Mid Plains League postseason tournament.
Brigade pitcher Phillip Muldrow struck out Jonathan Valuenza-Reece of Rossville in the top of the ninth with the bases loaded to end the game. Two Brigade errors had helped the Rattlers load the bases with two out.
Seth Wheeler, Junction City coach, said it was the first time this season Junction City has had a game like that. “That’s just a competitive baseball game where offensively both teams were really stubborn, putting pressure on the defense, having competitive A-B’s all day long. It was a lot of fun. It was a long game, but it was a lot of fun.”
The game took more than three hours to play.
Game two of the best two-out-of-three series is Friday night in Rossville at 7 p.m. The winner of the series will advance to the tournament championship game Sunday. In the other Cowdin Cup Playoffs semifinal Thursday night the Midwest Athletics defeated the Liberty Monarchs 11-1 in the opening game of a best two-out-of-three series.
