BELOIT — Both teams in Wednesday’s American Legion game at the Stateline YMCA Youth Sports Complex had nightmare innings in the field.
Janesville’s came right away, but Post 205 eventually woke up, shook off the cobwebs and poured on eight runs in the fourth inning en route to beating the Beloit Bandits 9-4.
