Jordan kept pace with the leaders in Region 3 baseball on Wednesday afternoon with another come-from behind victory.

Despite falling behind by four runs after just two innings, the Beetdiggers didn’t get deterred, rallying to force extra innings and then prevailing it in the bottom of the 10th for the 8-7 victory.

With its second-straight one-run win over corner Canyon, Jordan finds itself in a three-way tie for first place in Region with a 5-3 record along with American Fork and Lone Peak.

On Tuesday, Jordan rallied for the 3-2 win at Corner Canyon after trailing 2-0 after three innings.

Twenty-four hours later, Jordan found itself in an even bigger hole as Corner Canyon scored three runs in the first and four more in the second to open up a 7-3 lead.

Over the next eight innings, however, Jordan relievers Caden Capener and Kade Carter kept Corner Canyon’s hitters in check, which allowed their own hitters to chip away at the deficit.
