After finishing Fredonia 14-4 earlier in the afternoon, the Southeast of Saline baseball team turned their attention to a regional championship game with a tough customer in 21-1 Humboldt.

Southeast battled valiantly, making a steady comeback bid after falling behind 5-0, but ultimately came up just short, dropping the final 5-4.

Despite the loss, another stellar Trojan campaign comes to a close with an overall record of 15-8 with yet another league championship to boot.

The Cubs, who knocked out their first two opponents by mercy rule, wasted no time getting on the board with a pair in the second, and three more in the third.

After allowing those early runs, sophomore sensation Cole Gilpin buckled down and didn’t allow another through the final four innings of a near complete-game effort.

At the plate, the Trojans struck for a single run in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, but couldn’t find the one they needed in the top of the seventh, ultimately falling 5-4.

The Salina Post would like to thank everyone who followed along with our coverage of Southeast of Saline baseball all season long.
