A three-run 10th inning home run by Adam Rellihan lifted the Kansas City Knights to a 4-1 win over the Junction City Brigade Monday night at Rathert Field. The Knights lead the best two out of three Cowdin Cup semifinal round playoff series 1-0. Game two will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Eudora, Kansas. If a game three is necessary it will be played at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Rathert Field.

The Brigade struggled to play well at times in the ballgame, explained Coach Derek Francis. “We came out flat and just didn’t play good baseball. We missed some signs, didn’t execute on the little things, couldn’t get a bunt down and had a couple of errors.”Francis noted Kansas City played clean baseball.

A 10th inning throwing error left runners on base with two out before Rellihan hit his home run over the center field fence. The Knights have won three out of five meetings against the Brigade this season.
