Wildcats Come Close but Drop Season Opener

Maddy Haynes had three hits, three runs scored, and five RBIs while Scout Beaupre and Audrey Donahue also scored three runs but the KUA Wildcats ultimately fell 12-11 to the Northfield-Mount Hermon Hoggers in the season opener on Wednesday. KUA was spurred by a six-run fourth inning, that included a bases-loaded, bases-clearing double by Haynes and RBI doubles by Beaupre and Olivia Larose. Casey McCauley went the distance on the mound for KUA while catcher Seana Perkins had a two-out RBI single in the top of the seventh to put KUA up by one. Taking an 11-10 lead into the bottom of the seventh, the Wildcats were within one strike of winning until a windswept fly-ball found its way onto the grass to give NMH the walk-off win.
