THE WILDCAT baseball team continued its early season struggles on Monday.
The Wildcat defense fell apart in game one, allowing Burlingame to mount a 16-1 win.
“We did a terrible job fielding the ball,” Marmaton Valley coach Derek Scharff said.
In game two the offense started to click, but not enough to secure a win for the Wildcats. They lost game two 15-11.
Justice Pugh, Gage Adams and Isaac Heskett each collected two hits in the game.
“We have four JV games this week so we will work on some other guys pitching and continue to work on defense,” Scharff said.
