MANHATTAN — Desperation turned into exhilaration and then frustration Friday for Humboldt High’s baseball team.
The Cubs, in a bid for the school’s first-ever state baseball championship, staged a jaw-dropping eight-run comeback to erase an 8-0 deficit in the bottom of the fifth inning against Wichita Collegiate.
But the magic ended there as Collegiate regained its composure, and then put across a run in the top of the eighth inning to secure a 9-8 win in the Class 3A state semifinals.
