The Wildcats rallied late but couldn’t quite overcome a six run deficit, falling 6-4 to the Irish at Peoria Notre Dame Tuesday evening.
Jake Rutkowski started on the hill and took the loss for Normal West, striking out six while allowing six hits and five earned runs over 4 innings of work. Jake Marti added two more strikeouts, one hit, and one earned run over 2 innings of relief.
Marti (homerun, 2 RBIs) continued his streak, smashing a homerun in his fourth consecutive game – this time to deep left center field – to jump-start the Cats rally in the sixth. McCade Brown (2 singles, RBI) and Ben Smith (2 singles) stayed hot for NCWHS, with Tyler Ott (single) and Rutkowski (single) also delivering key line drives to keep the sixth inning rally alive.
The Wildcats will look to even the score when Peoria Notre Dame travels to Normal West for a rematch at 4:30pm Thursday evening.
