Wildcats Top Performers:
- Harrison Waxley came up big when Coach Byrnes needed him too in the first, belting a bases clearing, three-run two-bagger to bring everybody home on top of a walk later on.
- Nick Lorio registered multiple hits, but none bigger than a two-RBI double with LCU down to its final two outs which tied the game that was seemingly ticketed for extras.
- Caleb Duhon made a bevy of great disciplinary decisions in the batter's box, walking in all three of his plate appearances.
- While he did not play on Tuesday, it is worth noting that Brady Huffman extended his personal on-base streak to 11-in-a-row over the weekend at Huston-Tillotson, now the proud owner of two different double-figure strings (17 and 11).
Next:
