Leadoff hitter Dallas Loney, two spot hitter Joey Ermler, and three hole hitter Daniel Hupke combined to go 7-11 in the first game against Bondurant to propel the Wildcats to their tenth straight win after a 12-3 victory.  Loney stroked a double and two singles and finished with three runs batted in.  Ermler went 2-4 with two runs scored while Hupke launched a towering three run round tripper to go along with a single.  David Reid, Daniel Gramowski, Chance Becker and Grant Davis also had one hit each.  Davis took the win on the mound although he only threw three innings after walking six batters.  Zach Abdulrahim pitched two scoreless innings in relief.

Game two did not go very well for the Cats offensively or defensively. Bondurant used a combination of Wildcat errors and mental mistake to score six runs in the top of the fourth inning to break open a scoreless game. Carlisle responded with two runs in their last at-bat to make the final score 6-2 not in the Cats favor. This was the freshmen`s first defeat in the last eleven games.  David Reid took the loss on the hill after throwing 3 1/3 innings, surrendering all 6 runs, only 2 of which were earned.  Abdulrahim came on again in relief to throw 1 2/3 innings more of scoreless baseball.  Dylan Pinckney was the only Wildcat to have more than one hit as he finished with two singles.
