Things continued to spiral for the United South Central baseball team Tuesday night against New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Genvea in Wells.

The Rebels (9-9, 7-4 Gopher) collected just two hits and committed five errors in a 10-0, five inning loss to the Panthers. It was USC’s fifth loss in six games.

“If we don’t start playing some better baseball it’s going to be a short playoff season,” Rebels head coach Pat Frank said.
