Wildcats Fall in Opener

A 5-4 game at the midpoint turned ugly for the Wildcats as Brooks put seven runs up in the bottom of the fourth en route to a 14-4 win. KUA jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the top of the first, as freshman Anna Baker walked in the leadoff spot and scored on a double by senior Lulu Leppard. Junior Zoie Stevens then belted a single, scoring Leppard. A strong-hitting Brooks team tied the game in the first with two runs of their own. In the third inning, with Brooks up 5-2, Baker led off with a home run over the left field fence, her first in a KUA uniform. Junior Adi Runge reached on a walk and an RBI double from Stevens scored her to make the game 5-4, but that was as close as the Wildcats came on the day. Next up, a Friday night match up at Brewster on April 5th.
