Railsplitters best Wildcats 5-3
Despite Jacob Birlingmaier’s two hits, including a double, the Normal West Wildcats suffered a 5-3 loss to the Lincoln Railsplitters on Saturday in O’Fallon. The Wildcats, playing as the visitors, got on the board in the 1st inning for the third game in a row as Michael Collins led off with a double. After walks to Kyle Vaughn and Brock Stewart loaded the bases, a Wes Sery ground ball brought in Collins. After Lincoln tied the game in the bottom of the 1st, Jacob Birlingmaier doubled to start the 2nd and Tyler Emmerson brought him home with a double of his own. Lincoln tied the game in the 2nd as well.
The Wildcats resumed the lead in the top of the 4th when Adam Seifert singled, got moved around on a Birlingmaier single and eventually scored on a wild pitch. Unfortunately that was all the scoring for the Wildcats, despite threatening with a couple of runners on base in the 6th.
Tyler Emmerson pitched the first five innings and took the loss, allowing five runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. Brandon Brittin pitched the 6th for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats dropped to 1-2 on the season.
