Bloomfield, Missouri - The Bloomfield Wildcats defeated Leopold 10 - 4 this week.  Tyler Battles (2-0) was the winning pitcher.  Garrett Thele took the loss for Leopold.

Notables: Noah Vandiver 3-4 (@B, 3B, HR), 6RBI; Jacob Hector 2-3, BB, 3SB

"The focus and effort on both sides of the ball just wasn't there today. We know that we are a team that must stay focused all the time and swing at pitches in the zone," commented Bloomfield head baseball coach Tyler Trover. "I felt like today we expanded the zone too much and it set us up for poor at bats."

"Noah Vandiver flat carried us today. He put us on his back with 6 RBI'S and a couple of tremendous plays defensively. He is starting to understand what it takes to lead and is doing so with his effort each and every day," continued Trover.

Bloomfield now maintains a record: of 6-2 going into Friday's Malden Baseball Tournament.  The Wildcats will play at noon vs New Madrid County Central and again at 2:00 p.m. against Caruthersville.

"Hopefully these guys can make some adjustments and we can have a strong showing in the upcoming Malden tournament," stated Trover.
