A decisive performance
The Jefferson City American Legion Post 5 Juniors finally found their rhythm in the Ozark Mountain World Series, posting a 13‑3 triumph over the Arkansas Canes that ended a three‑game losing streak.
Offensive firepower came from several sources, with Jackson Crede leading the charge by delivering four hits and driving in four runs, while Eli Kemna contributed a 3‑for‑3 effort that included two RBIs.
The victory was more than a statistical highlight; it marked a turning point for a squad that had struggled to string together consistent hits and timely base‑running over the previous week.
Looking ahead, the Juniors are slated to meet the Sedalia Post 642 Travelers on Friday, a matchup that promises another test of the momentum they hope to carry forward.
