The Wildcats will welcome the Zebras at 4:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Plymouth has four straight victories, Wayne Memorial has 13 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

Brady Tegen tossed a big game, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Plymouth's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Drew Kime, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base and one run.
