The Great Bend Legion Braves dropped their opening round game to Pittsburg 1-0 Friday in the AAA state tournament in Topeka.
The Patriots scored the winning run in the seventh inning on a walk-off rbi single by Indica Holloway that scored Jayden Brown.
Great Bend's Slade Mohr took the loss, going the distance, allowing just four hits with three strikeouts and one walk. However, the Brave offense never could get going against Pittsburg pitchers Quinten Fears and Carson Nickelson who combined for 16 strikeouts.
Mohr and Trenton Kern each had a single to account for the Braves only two hits.
Great Bend will play at 11:00 a.m. Saturday against Chanute in the loser's bracket. Chanute lost their opener to Topeka 7-0 Friday.
