Johnson Home Imperial's Brady Staton bunts against Lincoln
Northeast Tuesday night at Duncan Field.

When a baseball team is in a slump, it seems there is nothing the team can do to get out of it.

JIH won its seventh consecutive game Tuesday in a 6-4 victory over Lincoln Northeast. After a shaky start, where walks became an issue, the pitching for JIH (17-20) settled down and allowed only one run in the final seven innings of the scheduled nine-inning affair. Hastings coach Russ Kindig said the game was typical for how his team has been playing as of late.
