The Wildcats returned to their winning ways, downing the Dragons 5-4 in Pekin Saturday afternoon.
McCade Brown notched the victory for the Wildcats, hurling 5 strong innings and registering three strikeouts while allowing four hits and just two earned runs. Mark Ogden earned the save in relief, ringing up another strikeout against just one hit and one earned run over the final 2 innings.
Jake Marti (homerun, 2 singles, 4 RBIs) stayed red-hot for the Cats, crushing a homerun in his third consecutive game – this time a no-doubter to left field in the top of the seventh. Ben Smith (2 doubles) and Brown (2 singles) were also major contributors, with Holden Lueck (single, RBI), Jeremy Fischer (single), Mark Ogden (single), and Tyler Ott (single) all providing key hits in the victory.
The Wildcats return to the diamond Tuesday evening in their first conference action, where they’ll face Peoria Notre Dame in Peoria beginning at 4:30pm.
