If this is the end of right-hander Jackson Kowar’s first professional season, it was a heck of a start to his career in the Royals’ organization.
Kowar tossed five scoreless innings Tuesday night as Class A Lexington beat the Lakewood Blue Claws 5-2 in Game 2 of the South Atlantic League championship series. The Legends tied the best-of-five series 1-1 after blowing a five-run lead in the ninth inning of the opener and losing 6-5 in 11 innings.
“Man, it feels amazing. Yesterday just didn’t go our way after getting an early lead, so getting back even today feels really good,” designated hitter MJ Melendez told MiLB.
