NCWHS roared back in the 2nd game of their double-header, outscoring the Rockets 11-6 behind two run homeruns in the 3rd and 6th innings Saturday afternoon in Limestone.

Jake Marti (homerun, double, 2 singles, 4 RBIs) and Jake Rutkowski (homerun, 2 singles, 2 RBIs) led the Wildcats charge, each going deep – to center and left-center, respectively – in the victory.  Chase Hacker (double, single, RBI), Jeremy Fischer (2 singles, RBI), Ben Smith (single, RBI), and Max Deffenbaugh (single) also delivered key hits for the Wildcats.

Rutkowski also recorded the victory on the hill for the Wildcats, scattering three earned runs and logging three strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings of work.  Hacker closed out the final 1 1/3 for NCWHS, allowing just one hit and adding two more strikeouts.

The NCWHS Freshman head back home for their next game Monday afternoon at 4:15pm, where they’ll take on Tri-Valley in non-conference action.
