1B Johnson Lights Up Black Aces for 6 RBIs as Lynx Tie DS
Ottawa Lynx manager Nick Boyd wasn't expecting much from the rookie playing in his first postseason. Maybe he should have been.

In front of a supportive hometown crowd, 22-year-old first baseman Justin Johnson humbled the visiting Santa Ana Black Aces at Rivermen Ballpark. Johnson belted 2 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored twice as the Lynx shut out the Black Aces by a final score of 15-7, to force a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Ottawa took advantage of an error in the bottom of the sixth inning. The game was tied, 5-5, when Jeremy Barnwell hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Lynx in front, 6-5.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Johnson.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Rivermen Ballpark in Ottawa.
