Your hometown favorite Yongesters softball team was back in action late last night. Down 11 to 1 in the 2nd inning the team rallied behind Mrs. Bainter when she came in the dugout and said, “look at us, I think we are all best friends.” Mr. “the Wizard” Commeret started striking batters out, and the law firm of Mathien and Kovach hit homeruns. Finally, tied 19 to 19 in the last inning with 2 outs and a runner on second, Mr. Linne roped a single up the middle to score the winning run, extending the win streak to 5 weeks. Be kind to your teachers today they were up late.
