Joseph City won their game over Phoenix Christian on Tuesday, then forfeited a game to Kingman on Saturday last week.
Tuesday’s game with the visiting Cougars saw the Lady Cats start a bit slow but in the third inning they took control of the game. Phoenix Christian scored 2 runs in each of the first two innings and led 4-2 going into the third. Joseph City then took the lead for good with a 7-run third inning. They tacked on 2 more in the fourth, 1 in the fifth and 4 final runs in the sixth to win the game 16-8.
With that win and the forfeit loss, the Wildcats’ regular season record moves to 6-3. They were ranked second in 1A prior to Saturday’s forfeit. This week they will travel to take on the top ranked team in 1A in Superior. The Panthers are unbeaten through 10 regular season games and this could potentially be an early preview of a game played deeper in the postseason.
Friday Joseph City returns home to face Bagdad.
