Tongy Snaps Back At Junior Legion After Lopsided Loss
Ottawa Junior Legion dropped a 7-4 decision to Tongy at Orlis Cox Field after a rough start, committing seven errors in the second and third innings. Ottawa managed five safeties off three Tongy pitchers, with a late rally in the fifth through seventh frames capped by a bases-loaded walk, but could not overcome the early deficit. Chappell worked three innings of relief, allowing one hit and no runs to steady the defense. Ottawa falls to 2-17 and heads to Emporia for a 6:30 doubleheader Monday.
