? Kennedale vs Diamond Hill-Jarvis 11-0 (W)

Bryce Hackett was almost a

one-man wrecking crew in the shut out.

  • Hackett

    didn?t allow a single run in the 11-0 win over Diamond Hill at Jet Teague

    Ballpark in Kennedale. Hackett, facing 18 batters, struck out 10 in 71 pitches

    while allowing one run and walking 2 in 5 innings on the mound.

  • Hackett also helped

    himself by driving in 5 RBIs while going 3-2 at the plate with a homerun and a

    triple. Ethan Wood got an extra base hit

    with a double, going 3-2 and getting 2 RBIs. Also getting hits for the Cats was Reed Saenz who

    went 2-2 with 1 RBI.

  • The Cats struck

    early scoring 5 runs in the 1st followed by 3 in the 2nd. Getting no one across in the 3rd,

    the Cats found the plate three more times in the 4th. That would be

    all the Wildcats needed to claim the win.
