Wheeler the Dealer Rally Wins Narrow Legion A Tilt
Wheeler the Dealer edged Aurora 5-2 in Legion A baseball at Butch Butler Field Friday night. Trailing 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth, Jeff Cogburn and Mike Edgerton loaded the bases before Tom Kramer laid down a squeeze bunt that the Aurora pitcher mishandled, tying the game and sealing the rally on a wild throw. Randy Jensen spun a strong start for Wheeler despite a rough second inning as Aurora’s five runs came on a grand slam by Houston in the second frame. Wheeler’s bench and defense preserved the late surge, and the club improved to 2-3 on the year heading into a weekend doubleheader sweep-ready road trip.
