HUMBOLDT — The A Iola Indians fell short in their quest for first in their four-team invitational tournament at the Humboldt Sports Complex on Sunday.
A rough top-half of the fifth inning saw the Indians’ lead over the Montgomery County Cardinals collapse after a series of misfortunes. To make matters worse, the originally planned seven-inning championship affair was cut short due to the field being reserved for another event.
Indians head coach John Taylor was full of optimism despite Iola’s narrow 5-4 loss to Montgomery County.
