The Manhattan Indians ( 7-5 ) pounded out 16 hits to defeat the Junction City Blue Jays ( 8-8 ) 14-4 in five innings in game one of their baseball doubleheader at Rathert Field Tuesday.
But in game two it was a different story. Junction City won the second game 13-3 in five innings. Both games were called after five innings due to a 10-run rule.
On game two Blue Jay coach Drew Biery said Junction City got guys on base and they were then able to execute the offense. “Guys did the little things right, took the responsibility of making sure they got the signs right, and executed them.”
Biery added he was proud of the way the Blue Jays responded. “Getting run ruled is really not a fun thing, but coming back, taking care of business, and getting a win out of that is a pretty good split.
