The Weimar varsity baseball team had a nearly perfect game to start off last weeks’ competition. Everything came easy for the Wildcats as they did whatever they liked on the offensive end, as well as stifled their opponents with an impressive defensive effort. After a complete effort, the Wildcats finished off their first opponents with a mercy-rule defeat. Weimar’s fortunes changed somewhat at the end of the week against Flatonia as they fell just behind in a competitive game.
Vs Louise, W, 23-1
The Wildcats had everything working for them against the Louise Hornets on Tuesday night. Derek Rees started the game on the mound for the Wildcats and found plenty of success picking apart Louise’s batters and nearly finished with a shutout victory. The defensive fielders behind Rees limited their mistakes and played clean baseball to keep the Hornets offense from getting any momentum. Conversely, the Wildcats’ offense had all of the momentum as Louise could not stop Weimar’s strong hitting night. Brady Henke had the biggest swing of the game with his second home run of the year that helped the Wildcats run up the score. After Louise failed to make any significant progress on the deficit, the officials called the game by a mercy-rule victory at the end of the fourth inning.
