Eli Johnson put the game out of reach in the bottom of the sixth of game one with a towering solo shot that gave the Bobcats a six-run lead.

Johnson finished the game with with two hits, one RBI and three runs scored.

Walker Messer went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and three runs scored.

Britt Buckelew was the winning pitcher, and improved his record to 4-1 on the season.

“Britt has been so good for us this season,” Bobcats’ head coach Mike Cassady said.

 

In game two, the Tigers had taken a 5-0 lead with four runs scored in the top of the fourth.

 

Rain began to fall heavily, and the second game was cancelled just shy of the five innings needed for an official game.

 

Since it wasn’t an area contest, the game is not scheduled to be made up.

 

The Tigers will be back at home on the diamond on Monday when they face Excel.
