Thursday North Johnston and the elements rained on their parade in an 11-2 pasting at the Eagles’ Nest. The split marked the first two games of the conference race for Rosewood.

Matt Neal had the big blow for the Eagles, stroking a bases-loaded triple in the top of the sixth to boost the Eagle lead to 6-1. Holt Rains got two hits for Rosewood.

The Panthers held a 4-1 lead going into the top of the fourth when the Rosewood defense yielded four errors and NJ capitalized for seven runs.
