We had more American Legion baseball in Bartlesville on Wednesday night, as the United Linen Braves begin their season at home against Ponca City.
The Braves split their double-header with the Wildcats, winning game one 9-1 in five innings, but losing in game two,7-4.
In the first game, Bartlesville squandered several opportunities to run-rule Ponca earlier than it did. The Braves left seven guys on base through the first four innings. It was Ransom Jones who finally punched a double down the line with two-outs in the fifth that gave Bartlesville the five-inning win,
In game two Ponca City would take a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never look back. Bartlesville’s Triple-A Legion team begins the season 1-1. The Braves will continue play this weekend.
