Wildcats Veto the Senators

The Normal West Wildcats showed they have good hitters up and down the lineup against the Springfield Senators in a 12-5 win at Chamberlain Park.  All nine Cats’ batters got a hit and five of them had multiple hits, including four each for Ryan Speller and Garrett Cook, as the Wildcats pile up 18 hits total against solid Senator pitching.  The victory raises the Wildcats record to 8-3 ahead of a return trip south on Friday to face the Chatham Glenwood Titans.

The Wildcats got out to a lead in the first inning Kyle Vaughn and Wes Sery walked and Matthew James singled Vaughn in.  In the 2^nd, Speller got aboard on an infield error and stole second before Garrett Cook chased him with a double just inside the third base bag.  Alex Jefferson then drove him in with a base hit. 

After the Senators tied the game in the bottom of the 3^rd, the Wildcats got three in the 4^th when Garrett Cook again double to left ahead of Jefferson getting hit and Vaughn walking to load the bases.  Wes Sery came through with a clutch two run single and Matthew James followed that up with an RBI single of his own.

In the 5^th, Speller picked up his second single of the game and Cook got his third double in a row to put runners on second and third base.  Alex Jefferson cleaned them up with a single up the middle.  He went to third on an infield error on the Senators and scored on a wild pitch.  In the 6^th, the Wildcats tacked on two when Adam Seifert singled and took second on an outfield bobble and scored on Speller’s third hit.  Speller moved to third on a Cook hit and scored on wild pitch.  The Wildcats closed out the scoring when Matthew James walked, Seifert singled and Erik Sipes drove in James with a single to left center.

 

Cook and Speller led the Wildcats with four hits, while Jefferson, James and Seifert each had two.  Jefferson had three runs batted in while Sery and James each had two.

Kyle Vaughn collected another win on the mound.  He tossed five plus innings allowing five runs, three earned, on five hits, a walk and a hit batter.  Dustin Detweiler finished up for the Wildcats, pitching the last two innings with a walk and four strikeouts, including fanning the side in the 7^th.
