The Junction City Brigade got their bats going in the sixth and seventh innings enroute to a 16-6 win over the Ottawa River Bandits Saturday night at Rathert Field. The game was called in the bottom of the seventh inning due to the 10-run rule. Blake Burrows hit a bases loaded triple in the bottom of the seventh inning to knock in Grady Davenport, Trae McDaniel and Will Jordan for Junction City and end the ballgame.
Two other Brigade players had strong games at the plate. Colton Rexroad had a single, triple and home run in the win and also drew a walk. Joey Winkler hit both a double and a single, and also drew a walk. Pitcher Jessie Steinbring started and pitched four innings for the Brigade as they improved their season record to 9-5.
Junction City steps out of the Mid Plains League Sunday for a nonconference game when they host the Kansas City Monarchs. The first pitch is scheduled at 5 p.m. at Rathert Stadium.
