Broken Bow American Legion Seniors Baseball Team Edged in Marathon

The Broken Bow and Gothenburg American Legion Seniors baseball teams played deep into the night Tuesday as Gothenburg finally prevailed in 11 innings 6-5. It was a back and forth affair with Gothenburg scoring a run in the first to take an early 1-0 lead. Bow would answer with a run in the third and 3 more in the fourth thanks in part to a 2 rbi single by Clay Brandon. Trailing 4-2, Gothenburg scored 3 runs in the fifth to regain the lead 5-4 only to see Broken Bow tie the game with a run in the 6th. 5-5 is the way it stayed until the 11th inning. In the bottom of the 11th, Gothenburg loaded the bases and used a squeeze bunt to score Radley Shaw for the winning run.

Gothenburg won the Juniors game 7-2. The Bow Juniors are now 8-10 on the season.
