The Albion Cornerstone Juniors opened their run by sweeping a doubleheader from Neligh’s Juniors and Seniors Wednesday, June 15, blasted Wood River Thursday and scored a come-from-behind thriller over longtime Legion nemesis Aurora Friday before dropping a decision to St. Paul Sunday at the Albion Sports Complex.
Cornerstone was scheduled to play host to Wayne Tuesday for a doubleheader, then compete in the Central City Tournament June 24-26.

The Albion Juniors routed Neligh’s Juniors 20-2, then defeated the Neligh Seniors 15-5 in the nightcap. It turned out the Cornerstone Juniors were just getting warmed up at Neligh. Returning home Thursday, the locals blasted Wood River 22-2 in five innings.
