Pittsburg, April 28- In two games in the Pittsburg-Colgan Tournament, the Humboldt JV Cubs were defeated both times. The final scores were 0-15 and 3-15.
In the first game against Parsons, Humboldt did not get any hits.
In the second game at Pittsburg the Cubs faced Fort Scott. Sophomore Troy Davis hit a double.
Freshman Chris Coronado also went 1-3, and freshman Taylor Leeling had two walks
“We didn’t do well at all at the Colgan Tournament. JV has a lot to work on, and it was one of those days that nobody played well,” said Davis. “We could use more pitching. We gave up too many errors. We didn’t hit the ball. These are the keys to baseball, and we need more work in every part of the game.”
