Wildcats finish long week with 5-0 shutout over Kennedy!!
Friday, the WCA Lady Wildcats traveled to Kennedy. The ‘Cats run-scoring machine was in idle for the first 5 innings as the Kennedy pitcher had them off balance. The ‘Cats were equal to the challenge. The Celts threatened early in the game as they put runners on base in each of the first 3 innings. The ‘Cats were able to stifle the Celts and strand their runners on the base paths. Shay Weststeyn put on a strikeout clinic as she struck out 15 batters, including 10 out of the last 13 batters to face her in the game. Shay ended up striking out every batter to face her at least once. In the 5th inning, the ‘Cats shifted their run-scoring machine out of idle, and into overdrive. Jocelyn Sheffield led off the 5th inning with a base hit. Hannah Worrell then followed with a long double to left field. Suzanne Weston drove both runners home with a base hit. Katie Haverstick followed with a single, then after Brynn Benes and Ellie Huffman were retired, Bryn McKie drove Suzanne in with a base hit.

The ‘Cats and Fort Zumwalt traded zeroes on the scoreboard through 5 innings, as Shay Weststeyn and the ‘Cats worked hard on defense to keep Fort Zumwalt from scoring. Only 1 runner for Fort Zumwalt reached 3rd base, and only 2 others were able to get as far as 2nd base. In the 6th, the ‘Cats broke the tie with a lead-off single by Ellie Huffman, a brilliant sacrifice bunt by Bryn McKie, which she beat out for a hit, a fly ball to right field to advance Ellie Huffman, and a base hit from Jordan Klein.
