The Sedalia Post 642 junior Legion baseball team wasted little time taking command of the best-of-three District 7 tournament against Benton County Post 305.
Sedalia scored 10 runs in the first three innings on the way to a 12-5 win in the opening game of a doubleheader Thursday at Liberty Park Stadium. The second game was still under way at press time Thursday night, but a final story can be found on The Democrat’s Web site, www.sedaliademocrat.com.
