Monticello split a pair with Anamosa at the city park, dropping the first game 8 to 4 and winning the second 8 to 6. Burrell pitched well for Anamosa in the opener while Fuzzy struggled in the cold, and Monticello capitalized late tying the second game on a two bagger by Fuzzy’s bat and a clutch single by Thompson.
