Wildcats Bludgeon Mt Pleasant 10-0; Maintain District Lead
Wildcats pitcher Triston McCormick took a perfect game into the fifth inning at Mt. Pleasant but had to settle for a one-hitter as the Wildcats bludgeoned Mt. Pleasant, 10-0 in a game halted after five inning due to the ten-run rule.
The lead off hitter for the Tigers in the fifth hit a solid single to right. There were also a pair of errors in the inning but McCormick pitched around them and preserved his shutout. McCormick worked five innings allowing just the one hit and no runs. He also struck out 7 and had no walks.
The Wildcats hammered out a dozen hits. Mason Buck opened the game with a big home run off the Mt. Pleasant scoreboard and the Wildcats led 1-0. They added two more runs in the top of the second. After Ryder Caddell singled and Michael Arnold doubled, Dawson Draper drove in two runs with a double. The Wildcats increased their lead to 5-0 in the top of the third. McCormick opened the inning with a walk. Arnold drove home a run with a double. Draper drove in Arnold with a double. The Wildcats doubled their score with five runs in the top of the fifth as they batted around. Caddell walked and Arnold singled. Draper collected his fourth and fifth RBIs in the game with his third double. Millsap singled. Buck drove home a run with a sacrifice fly. Argenbright singled and Golightly drive in a run with a single. McCormick drove in the last run with a sacrifice fly. Arnold was 3 for 3 with 3 runs scored and an RBI. Draper was 3 for 3 with one run scored and five RBIs. Golightly was 2 for 4 with an RBI. Buck was 1 for 3 with 1 run scored and 2 RBIs. McCormick had an RBI.
The Wildcats are now 9-1 in district play and they are now 15-6-1 for the season. Their next game is Tuesday night at Eagle Stadium as Greenville comes to town for senior night.
PA Announcer Jeff Harris is also expected to provide lots of trivia about Eagle Stadium, which may be hosting its’ last game. Harris also wants to recognize anyone at the game who ever played at the old historic stadium.
Lady Cats Finish District in Third With Friday Night Loss; Face Lovejoy Next Week
This one hurt. The Mt. Pleasant Lady Tigers used the long ball and a big defensive play to squeeze past the Lady Cats, 5-4 at Lady Tiger Field in Mt. Pleasant Friday evening. The loss dropped the Lady Cats into third place. Mt. Pleasant and Texas High are district co-champs.
The Lady Cats now face Lovejoy late next week in bi-district with details to be determined.
Trailing 3-0 in the bottom of the third, Mt. Pleasant’s Kamille Gill hit a three run home run to tie the score. Then trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Lady Tiger Vanaysha Green hit a two run home run to give the Lady Tigers a lead they would not give up. The game changed in lightning fashion in the top of the sixth. The Lady Cats, trailing 5-4, loaded the bases with just one out. Jaye Doughtie and Kelsey Wallace drew one out walks. Alli Fite then put down a bunt for a hit and the Lady Tigers went for a force out at third. Doughtie just beat the throw according to the field umpire and the bases were loaded. Macee Hollins then hit a little popper down the third base line that looked like it would fall in front of the Lady Tigers’ third baseman. She made a diving catch and then turned and threw to third catching a Lady Cat baserunner off the base on the unusual play. The improbable double play ended the promising inning.
The Lady Cats threatened in the top of the seventh as Alyssa Abron led off the inning with a single. She moved to second when Hannah Crowson was thrown out at first after a bunt. Brinklee Driver just missed one and flied out deep to right center as Abron moved to third. Kristen Allen grounded out to short. The throw to first was low but Mt. Pleasant held onto it and they celebrated the win. The Lady Cats started well scoring three times in the top of the second. Allen doubled, Sadie Stroud and Doughtie singled and Wallace cleaned the bases with a double right down the left field line. The Lady Cats used some small ball to get their fourth run, which gave them a 4-3 lead at the time. Stroud walked and Wallace doubled. Fite then put down a sacrifice bunt. On the throw to first, Stroud scored.
Mt. Pleasant outhit the Lady Cats 12 to 10. The Lady Cats had 2 errors. Bailey Haggerty took the loss throwing five innings allowing 11 hits and 4 earned runs with 1 strikeout and 1 walk. Allie Fite pitched a scoreless sixth inning working around a hit and a walk.
The Lady Cats end up 9-3 in district play and they are now 22-7 for the season.
Flynn, DPDF Respond to Dallas Mayor’s Criticism Regarding Pension Solution Bill
|
AUSTIN- After months-if not years-of negotiations, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings sent a letter out to the Dallas Taxpayers Thursday labeling the pension solution bill authored by the Chairman of the House Pensions Committee, Representative Dan Flynn (R-Van), a “taxpayer bailout.”
 “I am deeply disappointed in the Dallas Mayor making allegations and spreading incorrect information that won’t hold up under scrutiny,” said Chairman Flynn. “If the Mayor would have waited a day he would have found out that his ‘improvements’ to the Plan language would have not only been NOT backed up by the objective review of the Pension Review Board, he would have realized his own staff gave him incorrect information based upon unsubstantiated assumptions about the plan itself that lead to claims in his letter his own actuarial team won’t back up but he touted as true.”
Chairman Flynn and his staff have worked tirelessly on a pension solution for the Dallas Police and Firemen that will not only save the pension itself, but also make the plan actuarially sound. Without actuarial soundness, the plan will completely diminish within the next few years leaving many retired Dallas Police and Firemen across the state without a pension at all.
“I have offered time and time again for the Mayor to provide workable solutions but he has resorted to bullying and name calling while we are working on solutions rather than focus on protecting the 10,000 Police and Fire retirees, members and their families,” said Chairman Flynn. “That lends a lot of credence to the opinion of many that the Mayor just wants to take over the Plan and drastically attack benefits by collapsing the plan. Well that’s not going to happen. The city can’t recruit because they have a preference for parks over police and firemen, suggesting to everyone those officers rate below dirt and grass. The current legislation raises no taxes and requires no bonds and I have no idea why the Mayor thinks it is so. I suggest he stops wasting taxpayer dollars on expensive PR firms, lobbyists and lawyers, quit claiming bankruptcy is the answer and starts taking public safety seriously.”

Six Lady Cats, Two Wildcats Advance to Regional Track Meet
Lady Cats at Area Track Meet
Six Lady Cats’ track athletes qualified in seven events at the area track meet Thursday at Lovejoy Stadium. The Lady Cats finished fourth in the area meet. With only three races to go, they were in second place but only had one athlete in the final three events. Imani Taylor won the long jump by about 8 inches. Freshman Sydney Washburn qualified with a third place finish in the 3200-meter run. Taylor also ran the first leg for two Lady Cats’ relay teams that qualified for regional. The 4 X 100-meter relay team of Taylor, Abbi Baier, N’ysa Dugan and Sadavia Porter finished first and the 4 X 200-meter relay team of Taylor, Sheretta Hill, Dugan and Porter finished second. Baier qualified also in both the 100-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles finishing third in each event. Dugan won the 100-meter dash and set a new school record in the process. Lady Cats Track Coach Triston Abron also had praise for Faith Hatley, who scored points by finishing sixth in both the 100-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles. Coach Abron noted that Hatley has been battling a twisted ankle injury for several weeks but continued to compete. Taylor also competed in the triple jump, Hill ran in the 400-meter dash and Washburn competed in the 1600-meter run. The regional track meet will take place next Friday and Saturday at Arlington.
Wildcats at Area Track Meet
The Wildcats’ track team qualified two athletes in one event for the regional track meet and the team finished ninth out of sixteen teams at the area meet Thursday at Lovejoy. Mason Buck finished second and Ryan Humphries fourth in the 300-meter hurdles to qualify. Both are baseball players and could have a baseball conflict with the first day of the regional meet next Friday. Wildcats Track Coach Matt Young said both had earned the right to compete but added each could have to decide what to do. The Wildcats’ baseball team could be playing a key game at Hallsville next Friday that could determine the district championship. In other Wildcats results at area, sophomore Landon Thornton finished seventh and Peyton Vickery eighth in the 3200-meter run. Coach Young said Thornton set a personal record by several seconds. He added Vickery was battling an ailment. Junior Ian Blanch was seeded sixth in the shot put field and finished sixth scoring a point. Sophomore Landry Tyson also scored team points with sixth place finishes in the high jump and the 110-meter hurdles. Coach Young said Tyson cleared 6-foot in the high jump but went out at 6-foot-2 after a near miss. He said Tyson was seeded eighth in the hurdles race but ended up two spots better. Humphries also ran his best time of the year in the 100-meter dash but still could not crack the top six. The regional track meet is in Arlington next Friday and Saturday.
