The Branson Baseball Pirates overcome a slow start and get a 9-4 win over McDonald County Friday at Pirate Park to remain undefeated.
After getting a first inning run, the Pirates saw the visiting Mustangs score a run in the second and three in the third to take a 4-1 lead. The Pirates rally with two runs in their half of the third then five in the fourth to break the game open, the key hit being a bases clearing double by Andrew Bristow.
