Wildcats Tame the Panthers 7 – 4

The Normal West Wildcats opened conference play with a 7 – 4 victory over the Decatur Eisenhower Panthers at West Varsity Field. Erik Sipes three-run homer in the 1^st inning gave the Wildcats an early lead and it held up to move the Wildcats to 12-4 on the season and 1-0 in the Big 12 conference.

Dustin Detweiler started on the mound for the Wildcats and got the win, pitching five innings. He gave up four runs, but only one earned on three hits, two walks and a hit batter, with six strikeouts. Alex Jefferson came on in the 6^th inning to pick up the save. He gave up only one walk in his two innings and struck out the side in the 6^th.

After falling behind 2-0, the Wildcat got the lead right back in the top of the 1^st. Kyle Vaughn singled and stole second base before two wild pitches brought him home. Adam McGinnis walked and stole second before a Wes Sery walk put two men on for Erik Sipes. Sipes launched a shot over the center field fence to put the Wildcats up 4-2. In the 3^rd inning, the Wildcats pulled away from a 4-4 tie when Wes Sery led off with a double to left center and moved to third base on an infield out. Trey Rogers beat out an infield grounder to score Sery and then scored on a Matthew James double over the center fielder. James scored on two more wild pitches.

Wes Sery led the Wildcats with two hits while Erik Sipes had three runs batted in.

The Wildcats are scheduled to play the Panthers again tomorrow in Decatur, but the weather forecast is grim, so the next game may be against the Urbana Tigers at home on Saturday.
