LANSING — After playing five games in the Osawatomie tournament over the weekend, the Lansing Cubs were left with just 10 battered bodies for Monday’s match up with the Leavenworth Wranglers, the Lansing club falling to the Wranglers in just three innings.

The scheduling error on his part, said Cubs coach Mike Smith, was the downfall for his boys in the contest.

“We had the tournament this weekend, we played five games and played our hearts out,” Smith said. “Everybody had pitched so their arms were sore.”

The Cubs forfeit game two of the doubleheader to save their players for Thursday’s game at Sports Field against the Easton Lions.

“I didn’t want to get anyone hurt,” Smith said.

For the Wranglers, it was a successful night at the plate and in the field.

“Landon (Cole) pitched well and the defense played well behind him,” Wrangler coach Justin Bode said.

Cole gave up just four hits on the night and struck out four in the three-inning outing.

At the plate, all nine Leavenworth batters had at least one hit in the game, including two home runs by Will Brown and a ground-rule double by Josh Herrig.

“We hit the ball well, we were hitting it all over the place,” Bode said. “Will Brown getting two home runs was pretty special. Him pulling one and taking one the opposite way was impressive. It shows he’s matured as a hitter.”
