With only one out in the top of the ninth inning, the potential tying run was on third base. But a gutty, athletic play by shortstop Easton Bahr saved the day for the Jackson Bulls, resulting in a 3-2 victory over Windom in the first game of a best-of-three Region 13C playoff game Wednesday night at Wacker Field. Jackson led Windom 3-0 after scoring three runs in the bottom of the second inning, and that's how it stayed until the Pirates plated a single run in the sixth and another in the seventh.
