The A Cats dropped game 1 to Central Middle 6-2. Central came with their ace, D. Moon and Scottsboro countered with CJ G. CJ had battled sickness all week and gut checked his way through. Central showed their hitting ability to the Cats again, and made every hit count. The A Cats got several hits but couldn't string things together, leaving many runners stranded on base, but made enough noise to get Moore out after 5. A bases loaded final inning fizzled as Central kept getting out of a jam with a double play or something at the right time.

B Cats
The B Cats went in game 2 and basically took on the same Central squad as the As. Brandon C took the mound and went through Central with no problem. The Cat attack was working in the first as the Cats got on an opening rally and scored 5 quick runs. Brandon pitched a beauty through 4 and was in complete control, no hitting Central and never getting threatened. The Cats managed another run & went to the 5th and final inning with a 6 run edge. In the 5th Brandon tired and Middle led off with their first hit and a walk. Then several defensive miscues and a hit and walk latter the Cats found themselves in trouble. A typical rally, give them some breaks, throw in a couple of dinky hits just over the infield or rolling "bunts" just out of reach, and the Cats just couldn't shut it down. Central pulled even at 6 and Brandon gave way to Tyler H, but the rally was on and Central pushed 2 more across. The Cats managed a runner or two in the bottom but couldn't make up the deficit, falling 8-6 in a real heartbreaker. Congrats to a gutsy Central bunch on a valent comeback effort.
