Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• Braxton Cooksey tallied the lone multi-hit contest for the Cats, going 2-for-3 with one of the club's two doubles and a pair of runs scored.

 

• Gavin Vordick showed off his patience and ball-to-bat skills after a two-homer affair his last time out, driving an RBI-single into right field and also walking as well.

 

• Jake Messina was the third student-athlete to reach base safely multiple times, also picking up a knock, a base on balls, and was hit by a pitch before being subbed out.

 

• Seven different pitchers saw action for LCU and six of them held the Devils off the board as Braden McLin (got the win to improve to 2-1), Cy Fontenot, Jacob Bareswill, Trip Flotte, Seth Whitney, and Coleman Haltom all got three outs while combining to strike out four.

 

• Tyler McKenna was the final man to reach twice, hitting a single and then getting hit himself.

 

• Caleb Duhon crushed the team's second triple of 2025 and the first since the beginning of February, scoring Chris Kelley before touching the plate one batter later when Logan Bertucci sent everybody home early with a RBI "walk-off" single in the bottom of the seventh.

 

• Luke Morgan laced a two-bagger in his one plate appearance, Brady Huffman stole a base, and Adrian Aguilar logged a ribbie to put a cap on the notable offensive production.

• The eight-game winning streak is put to its stiffest test yet when the NAIA's tenth-ranked Jaguars from UHV invade the Wildcats' Den at 3 and 6 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
