Early lead carries Jay
A seven-run first inning carried the Jay County baseball team to a 15-5 victory over the Eastbrook Panthers on Tuesday.

Dusty Pearson, Austin Curts, Sam Dunlavy and Josh Dowlen all brought in runs as well, with Dunlavy hitting an RBI double and then scoring on a passed ball.
