Leavenworth Sweeps Twinbill From Ottawa
Leavenworth sweeps an A B doubleheader from Ottawa American Legion, 11-2 in A and 5-4 in B, as Ottawa errs eight times and Leavenworth pitchers limit hits. Ottawa leads early in A, but Leavenworth plates four in the fourth and adds in the fifth and sixth. In B, Ottawa builds a 4-2 edge before Leavenworth rallies in the fifth for three runs, aided by two walks and two errors, then holds on with solid relief pitching to finish. Ottawa's next games are Tuesday and Wednesday against Lyndon and Garnett respectively.
