The Republic Tigers baseball team ended its season with a 10-0 loss in the district tournament to state-ranked Webb City. The Tigers opened the game with two defensive errors, and it went downhill from there.
It was the third win over Republic this season for the Cardinals. Webb City had blown out Republic 23-2 early in the year, but the young Tigers nearly pulled off an upset at home in their second meeting. The Tigers jumped on top early in that one, and led most of the way, before giving up the go-ahead run in the top of the 7th, and losing 8-7.
The Tigers will still be relatively young next year, but they’ll have much more experience at the varsity level. Four freshmen saw extensive starting action during the last half of this season.
