The Pirates baseball squad split their last pair of district games as they fell at North Lamar before bouncing back with a big win over Paris last week.
The Pirates outhit the Panthers of North Lamar in their matchup March 21 but Pittsburg had trouble getting runs across the plate. Pittsburg picked up six hits in the game while North Lamar had five, but the Panthers picked up the win, 5-1.
North Lamar grabbed the lead in the bottom of the second inning, scoring one run on a hit, a sacrifice bunt and a single. The Panthers added four more to their lead in the bottom of the fourth inning with a two-run home run and a two-RBI double.
Pittsburg’s lone run came in the top of the seventh as Trace Burns led off with a single and later scored on a single by Charlie Mitchell. 
Jonathan Boyd and Brandon “Bam” Colbert each had two hits in four at-bats for the Pirates in the loss while Burns and Mitchell also added singles.
