The Normal West Sophomore team faced the Sacred Heart Cyclones on April Fools Day in Springfield last Thursday. But there was no fooling around in the Cyclones offense and defense. Though the Cyclones hold their hearts in the highest of positions, they also held their bats out to put a little “whuppin” on the beloved Wildcat. Ben Smith hammered out a solo home run and Cal Clover doubled and later scampered home on a passed ball for the Wildcats. But we fell a wisp short. Mac Byrd and Ryan Speller pitched well, but in the end we were swept up by only a cool zephyr-like breeze by the Cyclones, losing 3-2.
