Whitaker Shuts Down Jays as Keokuk Loses Double Header
Whitaker pitched superbly for Waterloo to deny Keokuk in the opening game, allowing only two hits as the Jays fell 1 to 0 in twelve innings and 2 to 0 in the second. Wilkus and Tuttle pitched well for Keokuk, but costly errors and late rallies doomed the locals, while Ottumwa and Monmouth had results elsewhere and Burlington prepared for a visit tomorrow.
