Swink fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Holly on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 14-11 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Wildcats. The Lions haven't had much luck with the Wildcats recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
