It was doubly disappointing to the Cats who in their final regular season game had hoped to move up into a 2nd place tie with Venus. Venus had lost to #1 Godley 11-0 on Tuesday. Kennedale (10-15-1, 5-5) is now in a third place tie with Heritage (8-15, 5-5) in District 7-4A.
The Cats led 2-0 going into the 5th when Heritage forged a tie with two runs. The game remained knotted through the next four innings of play before Midlothian?s first three batters got hits in the bottom of the 10th with a double and two singles and winning run.
