War/Stock still not over the Le-Win loss

Monday's loss to Lena-Winslow for War/Stock wasn't easy to take.

And after the WarHawks' win against West Carroll, 15-9, in a game that should have ended in just five innings, Jared McNutt made about a comment about the team's progress.

"Oh man, that loss against Lena was tough," McNutt said. "But we came back with a win against Pearl City. We're showing some good signs, but we're showing some bad ones."

War/Stock had a 12-1 lead after three innings tonight and a 8-0 lead before the bottom of the second against the Panthers.

Hess was clearly tired from pitching as much as he had Monday in the fifth of the Le-Win game, but Garrett Cox and Jordan Nichols gave up a few more runs than they would have liked.

Also, WarHawks coach Jim Nielsen made mention of the offense late.

"I though we kind shut down in our offense there," Nielsen said. "We were doing well but then we got a little bit lacksadaisical, but we got out of here with a win."

River Ridge/Scales Mound could be a very tough challenge for the WarHawks at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Though RR/SM has specialized in getting upset recently (Pearl City), it has also been upset specialists (Dakota, Lena-Winslow).
