Ottawa A-Team reaches state title game in dramatic fashion
Ottawa rallied from a 5-1 deficit to beat Manhattan 6-5 and then edged Topeka 400 2-1 for a spot in the State American Legion A-team Baseball Tournament final. Rain delayed the schedule as Pittsburg's Jaycee Park hosted the tense double elimination, with Don Jahnke overpowering Ottawa in the Topeka win while Darren Beets sealed the late comeback against Manhattan. Ottawa, 39-16, aims to win its first state title against Topeka 400.
