A big come from behind victory on Saturday for Cyclone JH Baseball! Boys defeated Mendon as WP scored 4 in the 6th and 4 in the 7th to win 8-7 over unity. Keegan and Rhys took care of the pitching, we finally strung some hits together as the 7-9 batters in our line up went 6-12 which was a big impact to allow our top of line up guys to drive them in! #CycloneNation #WestPrairieProud
