The NCWHS JV Wildcats jumped out to an early lead before falling behind in the sixth and eventually succumbing 7-4 to Morton Monday night at Normal West.
Jake Rutkowski had a strong showing on the hill for the Cats, recording seven strikeouts while spreading out five hits and just one earned run over 5 innings of work. Jake Marti closed out the final 2 frames, ringing up another strikeout in the defeat.
Marti (2 singles, 2 RBIs) and Tyler Ott (2 singles, 2 RBIs) led the offense for the Wildcats, with McCade Brown (double), Jeremy Fischer (single), Ben Smith (single), Ben Heberer (single), and Rutkowski (single) all contributing in the loss.
The Wildcats will look to grab their first victory when they return to the field Saturday morning at 10:00am to face Lincoln in a doubleheader at Normal West.
