Rats!
The JR Sportsmen got on an early roll and spun to victory Friday night against the Bartlesville United Linen Braves, 8-2, in 17-and-under summer baseball action.
The Braves (6-5) suffered their second-straight loss after coming off a four-game winning streak.
This one was especially heartbreaking — the Braves held the Sportsmen to just one hit. But, four Braves' errors resulted in six unearned Sportsmen runs.
Bartlesville's offense connected with the ball decently — six hits, led by Christian Hernandez who finished 2-for-2. Carson Leach, Masyn Dryden, Williams and Benton Blasi each contributed a single.
