Body

CALUMET – After being held to two hits by Jaxon Olive in a 9-0 shutout loss to Class B’s fourth-ranked Fort-Cobb/Broxton a day earlier, Calumet High School’s baseball team snapped a three-game losing steak with a 12-2 win over Verden.

The Chieftains improved to 4-4 on the fall with the come-from-behind win over the Tigers.

Calumet’s offense took advantage of seven errors and four walks in the win, while James Daughety and Gavin Tinsley were both hit twice by pitches. One of those free passes and a hit batsman came with the bases loaded during a seven-run second inning.

“Apparently the Cache player was showing signs during the game and now has tested positive for coronavirus,” said McVay.
