Jacobs' 2 homers carry Lions

Jackson Jacobs blasted a pair of home runs at Linn-Mar downed Fort Madison, 14-1, in five innings to take third place in the Linn-Mar Tournament on Saturday.

Earlier in the day, the Lions dropped a 5-1 decision to Ankeny in the first round. Ankeny defeated Muscatine, 8-2, in the championship game.

Jacobs also drove in four runs. Ryan Wyant went 3-for-4 as the Lions banged out 15 hits. Adam Bradley tossed a two-hitter to gain the win. Scott Mortensen also homered for the Lions.

In the opener against Ankeny, the visiting Hawks broke open a close game with four runs in the top of the seventh to take a 5-0 lead. Linn-Mar rallied in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases with two outs after scoring a run, but Manny Jeffrey struck out to end the game.

Bradley had two of Linn-Mar's six hits. Brandon Homewood was the losing pitcher, allowing four earned runs.
