Team Summaries Hurricanes Notes:
An excellently played game between the Thursday practice partners saw a 3-3 tie into the 6th. Mikey W. engaged in a pitching duel with Ben P. and gave up three runs over 5 2/3. Lucas C. came in to throw 1 2/3 shutout innings to close it for the Canes. The Cats were pesky and applied pressure in the 4th, 5th and 6th.

The Canes trailed 3-1 when Quinn K. delivered a huge two run single to right. In the bottom of the 6th, Jojo L. started a one one rally that saw Vincent D. drive him in with a smash to center, followed by a bases loaded single by Lucas C. and a suicide squeeze by Liam M. To give the Canes the cushion they needed.

Other notables for the Canes were Omar RG with two hits and Aaron G. with two great at bats.

The Canes will take Sunday off and will fire up next Saturday against the Badgers.

Wildcats Notes:
A good loss if ever there were one. Ben P throws 5 terrific innings, racking up 8 strikeouts and pitching Mikey W to a 3-3 standstill. The 'Cats take a few innings to heat up but finally break through with a 3-run 5th after a leadoff single by Ben P, a walk from Benny P-B, and hard 2-run single by Ryan R. Kentucky threatens in the 6th on a leadoff double by Oliver J, but he gets doubled off when Marcel S hits a hard liner at the pitcher. Will B, Marco B and Jared N all single after that, yet the Wildcats can't score. Crisp, well-played defense on both sides.

Wildcats pitch counts:

Ben P. - 83
Oliver J. - 21
