Glide Wildcats Baseball 11-14 Siuslaw / Mapleton

The Wildcats couldn't quite keep pace in a slugfest Thursday afternoon, falling to Siuslaw/Mapleton 14-11 in league baseball action on the road. Both offenses came to play in what turned into an entertaining back-and-forth contest that saw 25 total runs cross the plate. Glide matched their hosts punch-for-punch through much of the game, putting together solid offensive production that resulted in double-digit scoring. The Wildcats managed to plate 11 runs while collecting multiple hits throughout the lineup, showing the kind of offensive capability that has kept them competitive all season. However, Siuslaw/Mapleton's bats proved just a bit hotter, as they pushed across 14 runs to secure the victory in front of their home crowd. The loss drops Glide to 9-15 overall and 6-9 in conference play as the regular season winds down. With their offensive showing Thursday, the Wildcats demonstrated they can hang with anyone when the bats are working. They'll look to carry that momentum into their next league contest.
