While Dekaney's win against Eisenhower wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Wildcats sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over the Eagles on Friday. The Wildcats haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive win against them.

Anthony Cruz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on six hits.

At the plate, Michael Hayes was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one double, and one RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Isaac Fontenot, who scored two runs while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances.

Dekaney's record now sits at 14-11. As for Eisenhower, they dropped their record down to 7-12 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road.

Coming up, Dekaney will welcome Spring at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Lions will roll in looking for their ninth straight victory, something the Wildcats surely won't give up without a fight. As for Eisenhower, they are taking a road trip to take on Nimitz at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cougars have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.76 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of.
