The Wolverines baseball team saw their 2 game winning streak come to an abrupt halt this past Saturday evening when they dropped a 7-2 decision to Class 5A Evangel Christian out of Shreveport in the nightcap of the Northwood Tournament. With the loss the Wolverines fall to 2-5 on the year while ECA improves to 3-3 on the season. 

Evangel jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second only to see Quitman shave the deficit in half in the top of the fourth in an inning that showed potential to score much more. The frame opened with Kace West, Jack Potts, Cail King and Aiden Greer all hitting singles and Asher Shultz getting hit by a pitch with two outs. Unfortunately, the Wolverines only scored one run as West was thrown out attempting to score from second base and QHS left the bases loaded, twice failing to get the ball out of the infield with one out. After Evangel scored two more in the bottom of the fourth to go up 4-1, Quitman scored their final run of the contest when Hudson Pullig scored after drawing a walk, moving to 3rd on West’s second hit of the contest and took home on a passed ball.
