WISTER — It was a pair of almosts for the Poteau American Legion AAA baseball team Wednesday night against Rogers, Ark.
In the opener, Rogers scored once in the eighth inning to get past Poteau 4-3. Then in the nightcap, after Wister's Colby Turnipseed hit a two-out, grand-slam home run which put Poteau ahead in the fourth inning, Rogers scored three runs in the fifth inning as the visitors left an 11-9 victor in the five-inning contest.
