Familiar Faces Rally For JCCC In Opener
Gary Kuntz writes of Johnson County Community College baseball opening with an 8 2 win over St Thomas Minn led by Raymond Shaffer who pitched seven innings with one walk and minimal pitches. Buddy Welch backs Shaffer while rivals Baxter Springs and Lawrence send Allen Wilkerson and Rick Hall to boost JCCC intrigue. Schedule spans 21 April dates before May tournaments toward Grand Junction nationals. A key April 26 matchup in Ottawa against the Ottawa Merchants draws local interest.
