Both the A Team and B Team moved into the win column for the second game in a row with victories over quality Arab Knights squads at Veterans Saturday. Both Cats teams improved to 2 - 1 on the young season.
A Game
C J Gentle went the distance with a gutsy job of pitching in a nail biter 3 - 2 win. The cats scored the go ahead run in their last at bat, after watching Arab tie things up an inning earlier, and come back to hold the Knights in the 7th to take the hard fought victory.
The Cats hit the ball better than in games 1 or 2 with several solid hits, but stranded several runners on base throughout the game. Arab played good defense, and a couple of Cats errors and an opportunistic Knights bunch kept the game in doubt to the end. C J looked great, giving up 1 earned run in 7 innings of hard work, with several strikeouts. C J and Brandon Camp ripped a couple and Ben Gross, Colton Hancock and Conner Boykin helped lead the Cat attack at the plate. Tyler H kept base runners off second with a nice job behind the plate.Well done guys.
B Game
The Cats led wire to wire in this one and showed some good hitting and steady defense to take their 2nd win in a row 10-3 over Arab.
Brandon Camp got the start on the mound and battled for 4 solid innings, allowing only 1 unearned run on 2 hits while striking out 10 Knights batters. A close game in the early stages, the B Cats got cranked in the third and poured it on in the 4th. Leading 8 - 1 Brandon gave way to Jay Benson who kept the Knights in check, giving up 2 runs over the last 3 innings. Several Cats hit the ball well, led by Brandon C and Daniel Justice with doubles and Zach Mardis and David Gonder with some hard shots of their own. Good Job Cats!
