LATE RALLY NOT ENOUGH FOR CATS

Two outs, bottom of the 7th, runners at first and third, down 1--that's what sophomore second baseman Chloe Whitaker had staring her in the face yesterday at the new Wildcat Softball Stadium against county rival Boaz.  Meredith Moore stood anxiously awaiting a blast from her fellow middle-infielder.  Keundria Hampton re-entered the game for OF Jessica Light (reached on a fielder's choice) to give the Cats some speed with the potential go-ahead run.  Whitaker, batting from her newly-adapted left side of the plate, slapped a bunt down the left side of the infield and made a dash for first base.  Boaz pitcher, Casie Kinney fielded the ball and hurled it to first basemen Meghin Smith to get Whitaker on a questionable bang-bang play to end the game. 

Those are the breaks the Wildcats are finding these days as Guntersville (3-6) lost another heartbreaker 3-2.  The call could have gone either way.  Depending on who you ask, you'll get a different opinion.  It was a well-played game as usual between the two squads.  The pitching dual featured senior Amanda Mason for the Wildcats vs Lady Pirate Casie Kinney.  Both girls gave up 2 earned runs and had a 2-1 strike to ball ratio.  Mason finished the game, giving up 3 runs on 7 hits with 6 strikeouts and 0 walks in the loss.  Kinney racked up 8 strikeouts, gave up 2 runs on 5 hits with 1 walk in the win.
