Southeast Missourian Athlete of the Week: Woodland's Landon Johnson

Woodland's Landon Johnson belted a pair of two-run home runs to left field, leading the host Cardinals to a 9-7 win over Advance in a baseball game last week in Marble Hill, Missouri.

The senior also started the game on the mound before being replaced by Garret Reynolds, who picked up the pitching win. Johnson finished 3 for 3 at the plate.

"Our two big guns are really carrying us," Woodland coach John Craig said. "Landon had a couple home runs in some big spots there. Garret came in and shut them down for the most part until the last inning when we let a few unearned runs come in, but I'm just proud of the kids. We've lost three good players to injuries, and they're still fighting."

The victory improved the Cardinals to 12-7 on the season.
