He gave up one run with three strikeouts and two walks. Wilbanks also pitched two innings, facing 11 batters. He gave up three runs, all unearned, with one hit, two walks and four strikeouts. The previous Tuesday, the Wildcats fell 3-2 to Northland Prep in Flagstaff. The Cats led 2-1 going into the bottom of the fifth, but Northland scored twice in that frame, then held Joseph City off the rest of the way to secure the one-run win. Davis pitched four innings, facing 19 batters. He allowed three runs, one earned, on three hits with three walks and four strikeouts. Buckley worked two innings, facing eight batters. He allowed no runs, only one hit and struck out one. At the plate, Buckley went 2 for 3 with a double, a stolen base and an RBI. Davis was 1 for 3 with a triple. Adam Smith went 1 for 2 with a double. The Wildcats will host Valley on Thursday, April 10, then Fredonia in a doubleheader contest the following day. On Tuesday, April 15, they travel to Rough Rock for a doubleheader. Ranked 40th in the power point standings at the beginning of the week, the Cats may need to win the majority of their remaining games if they plan to reach the post-season.
