Recap: Junction City Bluejays vs. South Cougars

Junction City couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell 7-2 to the South Cougars on Monday.

For South's part, Brady Howard made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits over four innings pitched. Howard was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple.

In other batting news, Landon Putman was a standout: he scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.

While Junction City had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
