Briggs Three Run Double Lifts Columbus Juniors Past Dugdales
Dan Weggs' three run pinch hit double in the sixth broke a 5 5 tie and sent Columbus Legion Juniors to a 4 2 win over the Dugdales at Pawnee Park. The second game was cancelled by rain. Columbus jumped to a 3 1 lead after three innings as Dwayne Henry impressed before miscues allowed a rally. Briggs drove in the decisive runs with a bases loaded hit after Ziola reached on an error, Kobus followed with two hits, and Rick Burrows drew a two out walk before Briggs plated them all. Coaches Lassek and Robertson prepare for a rematch Tuesday night at Pawnee Park.
