Cats Split Doubleheader At York;Upset GACC

A rain delay didn't slow down the St. Paul/Palmer Cats from making the most of their opportunities on Tuesday as they hit the road to Leavitt Stadium in York for a doubleheader against the Class B Dukes and one of Class C's better Teams in the Guardian Angels CC/West Point Beemer Patriots.

The Cats and the Pats met in the first matchup with both teams splitting two runs apiece in the first inning for a 2-2 tie. The Patriots took their first and only lead of the game in the third inning scoring an additional two runs to take a 4-2 lead. The game would belong to the Cats as they would score the game's final 13 runs with a nine spot in the fifth and four insurance runs in the seventh to pull away victorious 15-4.

Zandyn Weller picked up the win while the Cats scored 15 runs on 19 hits with one error while GACC/WPB scored four runs on seven hits with one error.

The second game saw the Cats trying to get back at the Dukes for their season opening extra inning loss at Leavitt Field by a final score of 2-1.

The Cats took an early lead in the second with one run but it was short-lived as York put up five runs in the same frame to take a 5-1 lead. The Dukes never looked back as they would score two runs, once in the fourth and one in the sixth. St. Paul/Palmer not going down quietly also got two runs but couldnt muster a rally late falling to the Dukes for the second time this year this time by a final score of 7-3.

The split leaves the Cats with a record of 7-9 and are back in action Thursday vs Aurora at Home for senior night. The Game will be carried on 97-3 the Wolf.
