The Pioneer baseball team played with fire for two straight games and on Monday night they got burned.Warren County (2-5) once again gave up four runs in the seventh inning, and the Cumberland County Jets capitalized to defeat the Pioneers 5-4 in eight innings.Last Saturday, Warren County led Shelbyville 8-4 entering the seventh inning before ultimately winning in the final at-bat 9-8. On Monday in Crossville, the lead was 4-0 entering the bottom of the seventh.The Pioneers looked poised to run their winning streak to three games, but the Jets’ bats finally figured out starter Caleb Underhill and closer Dylan Barnes.Underhill, who had allowed two hits in the first six innings, gave up a lead-off double. Then, after a groundout, a single put the first Cumberland County run on the board.Coach Joey Haston decided to make a move to the bullpen, bringing in Barnes, who had closed out the Pioneers’ win over Shelbyville at Patrick Ramsey Field.
