The Wildcats (9-0) hosted the Hawks from Prairie Central on a windy and cool Friday.
Falling behind early, the cats proved that the game is more than 90% physical and the other 50% mental. Cool heads and hot bats started the rally in the 4th when Matthew James singled and Josh Appel walked. With two on and 1 out, Matt Hunsaker hit a double scoring two runs. Chris Smickilas followed with a single and Kyle Zulz knocked in Hunsaker with a fielders choice.
In the 5th inning, after an Alex Jefferson single and Matthew James walk, Adam, big papi, McGinnis blasted a 3 run homer into the teeth of hurricane type winds over the center field fence. Matt Hunsaker and Kyle Zulz started a second rally by walking and were driven in a two run single from Austin Aerrola.
