CUMBERLAND — Sean Collette’s first-inning home run gave Fort Cumberland an edge in the second game of a doubleheader Post 13 split with the Jefferson Bulls Sunday afternoon at Legion Field.

Fort Cumberland scored its only run in the bottom of the seventh, and had the bases loaded when the final out was recorded.
