Wildcats Rough Up the Tigers Twice

The Normal West Wildcats scored in eight straight innings over two games, getting consistent strong offense to tame the Urbana Tigers 13-3 and 11-0 in a Big 12 Conference doubleheader at West Varsity Field.  The victories improve the Wildcats record to 14-4 overall and 2-0 in conference – only the first game of Saturday doubleheaders counts in the standings.

In the first game, the offensive highlights included two hits from Adam McGinnis and Trey Rogers each, and Wes Sery getting hit by a pitch three times.  Trey Rogers had three runs batted in and Adam Seifert, Alex Jefferson and Adam McGinnis had two each.

Kyle Vaughn collected his fourth win of the season on the mound.  Kyle went the distance, giving up three runs, two earned on three hits and two walks with a hit batter while striking out six hitters.

In the second game, Adam Seifert went to the hill and earned his third victory of the year.  He stymied the Tigers over five innings on three hits and a walk with seven strikeouts.

Offensively, Alex Jefferson led the charge with two hits.  The Wildcats only needed seven to score their eleven runs as they were helped seven walks and hit batters.  Wes Sery needed a hot tub after the game after taking his fourth of the day.  Sery, Matthew James and Adam Seifert each drove in two runs.

The Wildcats return to action this week, hopefully, for a crack at going to Decatur Eisenhower after being rained out three times already.
