Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• Tyler McKenna joined Brady Sers as the two members of the multi-homer club so far in 2024, getting ahold of one and driving it over the wall for a three-RBI shot, his second of the year. He also added a single and a walk to his 2-for-4 (.500) day.

 

• It's not often that a reliever pitches longer than the starter involving a deciding game three of a conference weekend series, but it worked in the Wildcats' favor on Sunday as Braxton Cooksey remains unbeaten after a five-inning, one-hit, six-strikeout appearance out of the bullpen that improved his record to a sparkling 4-0.

 

• Adrian Aguilar scored not once, not twice, but three times, roping a double plus a single along with one of the squad's four sacrifice bunts.

 

• Dylan Beier got the start on the bump, tossing four solid frames in which he ceded one run on three hits and retired three Jarvis hitters on Ks.

 

• Harrison Waxley scores two Cats with one swing, clobbering a double to score Braden Trull and Adrian Cindo on top of reaching courtesy of a bean ball.

 

• Trull and Caleb Duhon both had similar lines, each going 1-of-2 with a sacrifice fly, an RBI, and a run scored while the latter walked once whereas the former drew two free passes.

 
Notes
 

• With the victory, Head Coach Mike Byrnes notched career win number 496 at Louisiana College / Christian University, putting him just four shy of the historic 500-win milestone.

 
Next:
  

• After its brief Texas road trip, the comfort of  awaits once more on Tuesday at 3 p.m. as the Wildcats look to boost their potential at-large resume when (RV) Loyola-New Orleans makes its way up from the Big Easy.
