Tonganoxie Post 41 survived a track meet during game one of their American Legion Post 23 League doubleheader against the Lansing Cubs on Friday evening at Lansing High School.
By the end of the contest, which lasted only four innings due to the two-hour time limit, every player who played in the game except for two had reached base at least once, and every man except for three had scored at least one run. Tonganoxie held on, though, for a 16-10 victory.
Post 41 completed the sweep over the Cubs in game two with a 10-2 win. They improved to 8-3 (all in league play) with their two wins on Friday. The Cubs fell to 1-8 (1-4 in the league).
