GREAT BEND The Humboldt Cubs avoided a repeat of last years state tournament showing by eking out a 5-4 win against Olathe-Heritage Christian Academy in the 2-1A state tournament.
Last year, the fifth-seeded Cubs fell victim to a 5-4 ninth-inning walk-off loss to Riley County which ended their season.
Now seeded fourth, the Cubs went the distance in 10 innings.
