BY JIM MISUNAS jmisunas@gbtribune.com OTTAWA – Payton Mauler cemented his reputation as Great Bend’s wood-bat magician with a home run that sparked a 2-0 upset over Chanute in Wednesday’s Class AAA American Legion State Baseball Tournament. Chanute was last year’s AAA state runner-up. Mauler’s wood bat launched a second-inning pitch from Chanute pitcher Hunter Frederich over the left-field fence.
