Saints overwhelms Garden City pitcher in Seward doubleheader sweep
Rick Wilson, the steady two year ace for Garden City Community College, was knocked around as Seward County piled on seven first inning runs and swept the doubleheader 12-1 after an 11-6 first game. Coach Todd Briggs noted Wilson’s difficulty and said the pitcher will be back today against Cloud County, hoping for a short memory and bounce back. The Saints built a 2-1 lead in the first game, then exploded with five runs in the third and a fourth inning tally. Garden City struggled to hold the Seward bullpen and could not prevent a run rule finish.
