ES baseballers eye win No. 10

Body

Excelsior Springs varsity baseball coach Aaron Holst and his Tigers are hoping to breathe easier this week.

The Tigers had nine wins entering the week, which began Monday with a 12-5 road loss to Kearney and continued Wednesday with a 3-0 home loss to Winnetonka. Weather permitting, they have three more opportunities to secure win No. 10 – Friday at Raytown, and a triangular Saturday in Sedalia with Camdenton and Smith-Cotton.
