They came up short against the Billies, falling 14-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Wildcats have suffered since March 29th.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Oakridge). Everything went their way against North Douglas on Wednesday as they made off with a 12-2 victory. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Warriors with their most commanding win of the season.

He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That double was his first of the season.

Miller went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one run, and one double, while Maher got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.
