IT’S A CATCH-22: Nebraska City third baseman James Fairbanks, after catching a relay throw from center-field, places a tag on Bennington’s Carson Kortan during a game played in March. Kortan, who was safe at third on the play, is also a third baseman. The Badgers, who erupted for six runs in the fifth-inning, beat the Pioneers 12-3. (Photo by Jack Denker/Sports Plus)
