Junction City- The Bears offense went to work early and often yesterday as they scored 3 in the first inning and scored 7 runs in two separate innings to explode for 19 runs Thursday night in a 19-5 victory. Jayce Moore showed up and showed out banging out 4 hits including 2 triples and driving in 3 runs in the process. Reese Tarver started the game on the mound for the Bears as he allowed just 1 run on 3 hits and striking out 3 batters. Tarver also added a triple from the plate, walked twice and scored 3 runs. Zane Minton had 2 hits and 2 RBIs at the plate for the Bears and swiped a team high 3 bags as well.
