Rattlers Lose in 12th Inning

A single to right field by Kasey Clark in the bottom of the 12th inning scored Franke Valle from third base and lifted the Junction City Brigade to an 11-10 victory in 12 innings over the Rossville Rattlers Friday night at Rathert Field.
The win came in the first game of their best two-out-of-three semifinal round playoff series in the Mid Plains League Cowdin Cup playoffs. Game two is at 7 p.m. Sunday in Rossville.  It was originally scheduled for Sat. night.
Junction City led in the contest Friday night 6-2 and 9-6 but Rossville took advantage of three consecutive walks and the Brigade’s inability to complete a rundown play when Danny Mitchell Jr. was caught between first and second base in the eighth inning. Mitchell eventually made it safely back to first base, but in the meantime the Rattlers had scored the tying run from third to make it 9-9. When neither team scored in the ninth the game went into extra innings.
