WELLSVILLE — For the second year in a row, the Humboldt baseball team’s season was ended at the hands of Wellsville. The Eagles beat the Cubs 8-3.
The Eagles have been the Cubs’ nemesis for the last 12 months, regardless of sport. After eliminating them from the state baseball tournament last year, they also ended Humboldt’s basketball season this year.
The Cubs came into the game fired up to extract their revenge on the Eagles and their added emotion may have worked to their detriment early on, as Wellsville scored three first-inning runs off of Humboldt’s senior ace Jake Haviland.
