The Yates Center Wildcats look to rebound after taking a 10-0 and 16-0 sweep to Olpe in Monday’s season opener. 

Olpe’s pitchers combined for a nine-strikeout, no-hitter in the first game. 

They held Yates Center scoreless while tallying three runs in the first inning, two in the second, three in the third and then a pair of runs in the fifth to seal a 10-0 mercy-rule. 

On the mound, senior Kaiden Rutherford, sophomore Nolan Lampe and sophomore Braxtyn Morrison combined for five strikeouts. 

The Wildcats will not have long to marinate on their loss as they host the Uniontown Eagles for a doubleheader Thursday with a 4:30 p.m. first pitch in the opener, and a 6:30 p.m. first pitch for the finale.   

At press time, statistics for game two were not available.
