West City use team effort to tally win
Wildcats rally to top Skyrangers in 9 innings
TE ATATU - Key contributions from unlikely sources sprinkled in among costly Skyrangers errors propelled the Wildcats to one of their most improbable, and perhaps most satisfying, wins of the season Sunday afternoon.
Not only did the Wildcats rally from four runs down against Auckland Premier League pitching MVP candidate Jamie Wilson in their 7-6 win, they also came through with a peculiar two-run rally in the bottom of the 8th inning after it seemed like the air had been taken out of their sails just one-half inning earlier.
First baseman slams helmet after being thrown out at home
TE ATATU - Wildcats first baseman Lawrence Lotze was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Skyrangers after being called out at first base to end the eighth inning.
Right-hander allows three runs in nine innings, picks up second win
TE ATATU - Over the past month, Matt Mills has quieted his critics, displayed his enormous toughness -- and most importantly -- proven quite capable of being a pitcher the Wildcats can depend on for many weeks to come.
Making his second start since December 6th, Mills dominated an injury-depleted-but-still-impressive Cyclones lineup and gave the Wildcats further reason to believe they can go into their bye week with confidence, and come back even stronger for the final round.
Mills' solid nine-inning effort combined with a surprising and encouraging double highlighted the 9-3 win the Wildcats claimed over the Cyclones at McLeod Park on Sunday morning.
Niemann gives up seven runs in three innings vs. cross-town rivals
LLOYD ELSMORE - Three games into the Summer Series, the Wildcats were on top after they smashed the opposition. Fourty seven runs for, seven runs against. What a thing!
Simple baseball seemed to be working perfectly, well as long as the opposition promised to only score two runs themselves. Sunday morning, all that simple baseball left the Wildcats with a not-so-simple 10-6 loss, and with a simple-to-understand must win double-header next weekend.
West City demolish Cola, post 33 runs in double header
TE ATATU - Gordon Niemann gave it a push, then Robbie Turner slammed the door on Cola Yeh’s hopes of splitting the double header on Sunday.
The Wildcats pitchers kept Reilly and Abner quiet in a 12-2 and 21-1 victories on Sunday afternoon, that kept West City undefeated in the Summer Series, in the run towards the National Club Championships in February.
