The 'Dogs got all the runs they would need in the first inning on a three-run homer, and the Mudcat offense never got on track against a stingy Riverdogs defense. The All Blacks never advanced a runner to third, and moved just one runner (Channing in the fourth) to second.
The loss did clear up one part of the tournament picture for the Mudcats: they cannot play on Monday, May 14, according to the most recent end of season bracket.The Bats defeated the Lookouts earlier on Saturday, so the 'Cats could still open tournament play on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Looking ahead, the 'Cats can clinch second place (and an opening game on Thursday, May 17) by winning out. The next Mudcat event is practice on Sunday at 1:00 at Method Road, with the next game on Monday night at 5:30 against the Bees.
Saturday's Web Gems
- Gavin started yet another Mudcat double play in the second, grabbing a line drive with one out in the first, then throwing to Bryce to double off the runner and end the inning.
- To end the third, Gavin made a solid play ranging to his right up the middle from shortstop, knocked down the ball and stayed with it to through to first to finish the inning.
