Alex Mareske was the starting and winning pitcher for the Cats. He went 4-1/3 innings and gave up three runs and six hits with 11 strikeouts and two walks. Rein then pitched 1-2/3 innings and yielded one run and one hit with two strikeouts.

Logan led 3-0 after one inning with Wagner’s RBI single, a sacrifice fly to right by Lakatos and Butcher’s RBI double to left field.

The Wildcats added two more runs in the third and led 5-1.

Spurlock’s RBI double off the left field wall and an RBI groundout by Spears put Scott to within 5-3 after four and a half.

But in the bottom of the fifth, Greene ripped a 3-2 pitch from Spears to right center for a two-run double to push the Wildcat lead to 7-3.

Scott made it 7-4 in the top of the sixth as Devin Bayer singled and later came home on a steal of third and a throwing error by the catcher Motto.

Logan then had a five-spot in the last half of the sixth. The big blow was a two-run double by Lakatos which made it 9-4.

The Wildcats are scheduled to return to action tonight at home against county rival Chapmanville.
