Benjamin Russell baseball coach Richy Brooks was not exactly pleased after Friday night’s non-area game against Clay Central.Â
Brooks felt the Wildcats didn’t play up to their typical standard and although they made a comeback late, it was only to see that comeback slip away as the Volunteers got a walk-off single from Philip Ogles to win the game, 6-5.
