van den Bos' Homer Kickstarts Comeback Against Peacocks

LIBERTY, Mo. – In games rescheduled due to weather last week, the William Jewell baseball team split their season home-opening doubleheader Sunday afternoon against Upper Iowa. After a 7-1 loss in the opening game, the Cardinals battled back to stamp an 8-6 win over the Peacocks. Jewell moves to 2-2 on the year.
