Wildcats fall to Redbirds 3-2
On a day when most area teams probably didn’t play due to wet field conditions, the Normal West Wildcats got their game with Metamora moved to West Varsity Field and got the field in great shape for a late afternoon matchup. Unfortunately, the Redbirds dashed the Wildcats hopes of a three game win streak with a two out, two run homer in the top of the 7th to take the win, 3-2. The Wildcats fall to 4-5 on the season with the loss.
Wildcat starter Erik Sipes pitched well, but took the loss, dropping to 1-2 for the year. Sipes had the Redbirds in control for the first six innings, only allowing a single run on two bases hits in the 1st. He had gotten eight straight outs before a one out double in the 7th set the stage for the Redbird game winner. Sipes allowed three runs over seven innings, with eight hits, five strikeouts and no walks.
The Wildcat bats were pretty quiet, getting only six hits in the game. Jason Cullen singled, stole a base and came in to score on a Sipes single in the second to tie the score at 1-1. The Wildcats looked like they were going to pull it out for the second day in a row when they scored in the bottom of the 6th on a walk to Adam Seifert, a fielders choice putting Michael Collins on, a Brock Stewart single up the middle and a Jason Cullen double down the left field line, scoring Collins. Cullen led the Wildcat with two hits for the game.
The Wildcats have a few days off after playing four days in a row. They return to action next Friday, 4/9 at home against Chatham Glenwood.
