LEON — Humboldt High’s Lady Cub softball team didn’t let the sting of defeat spoil a key early season showdown Monday.
After dropping the first game of the doubleheader to Bluestem — incurring its first loss of the season — Humboldt rebounded and returned the favor in game two, handing the Lions their first loss of 2022, 9-0.
The split puts the Lady Cubs at 3-1 on the year. Bluestem stands at 5-1.
The story of the 9-0 win was the dazzling pitching performance by Humboldt freshman Shelby Shaughnessy, who allowed three hits and struck out eight.
