Three-run homer caps Rebel comeback over Lions

   With one out in the bottom of the seventh and trailing the Dresden Lions 8-7, McKenzie batter Parker Jones thrilled the Rebel faithful by blasting a mammoth three-run homer over the left field fence to seal his team's emotional come-from-behind 10-8 victory.
    Following a scoreless first inning, the Dresden Lions' offense got on track in the top of the second as Lion's Dwayne Bailey and Matt Chappell singled. Following Lion pitcher Roe Hugh's ground out to second, Chris Peeler smacked a RBI single to right to score Bailey. Lion Daniel Harris reached first safely on a fielder's choice after Rebel third baseman Rusty Chapman's throw to first was wide of the mark, allowing Lion Chappell to score and give Dresden an 2-0 lead.
