The Huskies, winners of 11 of their previous 13 games, drop to 14-8.

Highland baseball also managed to grab a late lead, breaking up a tie game at one with two runs in the fifth. But West Burlington would rally, scoring once in the sixth and twice in the final frame for 4-3 walk-off win. The Huskies fall to 9-10. Both teams take on Hillcrest Academy this evening.
