Last Friday and Saturday, the JV baseball team took a trip to Elko and had a less than desirable weekend, so to speak. The boys got beat in all three games by about five runs in all three games but marched out of Elko with their heads held high and their minds set on their next games.
Batting was what doomed the Buckaroos and got them beat 10-0 in their first game and 17-2 in their second game. The Buckaroos managed to accrue seven hits over the course of their first two games.
“Our batting wasn’t working,” said sophomore captain Cody Green, “We need to work on our batting more.”
Although the Bucks had lost the series, they didn’t just lose all hope and quit the third game, but rather they went in looking to get some respect from Elko and their crowd, which they did. The Bucks went in and played hard, getting 10 runs and managing to hang with Elko until the bitter end.
“We never gave up,” said Green, “We kept our heads up, so that’s positive.”
The Bucks are going back to practice and iron out the rough patches to end the season on a positive note with wins.
