Cameron Cason and Dylan Dantin also collected two hits. On Tuesday, the Wildcats faced their toughest district matchup yet. They took on the #6 Zachary Broncos at home. In a great pitching matchup, it was the Wildcats coming out on top with a 2-1 victory over their district rivals. Travis Stevens pitched the complete game only giving up one run on four hits.
