Coming off a blowout win at home against Portageville Monday (May 9 - 17-3 final score), the 'Cats continued their offensive explosion against the Campbell Camels on Tuesday (May 10) afternoon. The 'Cats racked up 18 hits and 23 runs in the shutout contest.

Sophomore Brad Potts (5-2) got the 'W' for the 'Cats, striking out two batters during three shutout innings. The Camels just couldn't seem to put the bat on the ball, as Potts only allowed one hit; his only mishap came in the second inning, when he hit a batter.

Potts was 4-4 with two RBI's in the contest.

Nick Noble and Logan Northern took to the mound in relief of Potts in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively.

Noble gave up two hits and a walk, but was able to get two K's. He also was 1-1 with a run scored.

Northern was able to get the first three batters he faced in the fifth out, including one strikeout. Northern grounded into a fielder's choice during his only plate appearance.



Alex Cliff, the Bearcats' first baseman, has been an RBI machine in the last two games. The junior was 3-4 with a walk, four runs scored, and 3 RBI's in the contest, after putting up 4 RBI's in Monday's game.

Senior Bryn Hester also had a great day at the dish, getting three hits and a walk in five plate appearances, including a two-out, two-run homer in the second inning.

Looking ahead to districts, the 'Cats have a 9-10 record - good enough for the #3 seed. The two blowout games this were huge momentum builders for the Bearcats.

Dexter will face Scott City on Saturday (May 14) night at Notre Dame Regional High School in Cape Girardeau.

The game is set for a 7:30 p.m. start, weather permitting.
