Seniors come up big on Senior Day
Seniors Jason Cullen, Michael Collins and Brock Stewart celebrated Senior Day with their bats, leading the Normal West Wildcats to a 10-3 win over Decatur MacArthur to finish out the conference campaign at 12-1 as Big 12 Conference champions. The win moves the Wildcats overall record to 26-8.
The Wildcats bats started slow, producing only one run over the first four innings, but got very hot in the 5th to pull away. In the 1st inning, Alex Jefferson reached based on an infield error and stole second before scoring on a Jason Cullen double over the centerfielder’s head. In the 5th inning, Stewart started the rally with a single. Cullen then doubled again. They both scored on a dropped fly by the right fielder. Wes Sery’s ground ball to second was thrown away to score another run and put him on second. Michael Collins doubled him in and then scored on a single by senior Brandon Brittin. An Alex Jefferson single put two men on and Stewart drove home Brittin with a base hit. Cullen then hit his third triple of the game over the left fielder’s head to drive in two more. Senior Jacob Birlingmaier finished it with a base hit to score Cullen.
Cullen and Collins led the Wildcats with three hits, while Stewart had two. Cullen also led the Wildcats with three RBIs.
Adam Seifert got the victory on the mound for the Wildcats. He pitched six innings, giving up three runs on seven hits with no walks and four strikeouts. He struck out the side in the 3rd and was helped by a nice 5-4-3 double play to end the 4th inning. Alex Jefferson pitched a perfect 7th inning with one strikeout.
The Wildcats play Pontiac at home tomorrow at 4:30 in their regular season finale.
