    Below commentary is being updated as game is played.  This is the second game of a best of 3 series.  The Junction City Brigade won the first game Thur. night.


    Junction City jumped off to a 2-0 lead in the first inning.  But,  the Rattlers scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 4th to take a 3-2 lead.
    Still 3-2 at the end of five innings.  This could end up being an exciting game.
    The Rattlers picked up 2 more runs in the bottom of the 6th inning to take a 5-2 lead.
    The Rattlers hold in the top of the 7th.  In the bottom of the 7th,  Michael Higgins is walked and then Collin Scribner hits a home run to add to the lead.
    The Rattlers again held the Brigade scoreless in the top of the 8th inning.    The Brigade brought in a new pitcher to start the bottom of the 8th but he threw 7 straight balls,  walking Matthew Nerz and Tim Scheaarman. Jonathan Valenzula-Reece grounded out but advanced the two runners to scoring positions.  However,  they were not able to advance and the scoring opportunity yielded no results.
    In the top of the 9th,  the Brigade scored 5 points to tie the game.  A grand slam home run contributed 4 of the runs.   The Rattlers got men on 1st and 2nd via walks,  but they died there to end the inning.
    On to extra innings.
    The Rattlers held the Brigade scoreless the top of the 10th.  The Rattlers hit 2 singles,  and then a walk loaded the bases.  Michel Higgins hit a single scoring Jeff Christen to end the game.

    The offense was led by Michael Higgins (C) with 3 hits, 3 runs, and 1 RBI and Collin Scribner (1B) with 2 hits, 2 runs and 1 RBI.
