May 22, 2013 Wildcatters hang on and win 9-4 against Voyagers Prep

In a match up against a tough Voyagers Prep team, the Wildcatters were hanging onto a one run lead through four and a half innings before breaking it open with five runs in the fifth inning. The surge started with a leadoff walk by Tyquella Smith, followed by singles by Darin Relifor and Ramza Zubair. With bases loaded and two outs, Kevin Mendez, batting cleanup, approached the plate with determination and hit a hard shot to rightfield, driving in two runs. Henry Rivera is up at bat next and hit a 3-run home run to centerfield. Voyagers Prep threatened with two runs in the sixth inning, keeping the Wildcat fielders on its toes, but the team was prepared and had a quick 1-2-3 putout in the seventh inning securing a 9-4 win.

Game MVP is Henry Rivera who went 2-3 with 1 run, 2B, HR and 4 RBIs.

Under clearing skies, led by the strong pitching of Daron Reliford, the JVL Wildcat Academy hit and  ran their record to 4-0 by defeating Queens Academy 15-0. Aided by an almost flawless defense, Reliford pitched a rare shutout in co-ed softball and contributed to his own cause by going 3-4. Isiah Gamble, the game MVP, Kevin Mendez and Henry Rivera all slugged homers and drove in three runs. Viviana Ruiz added two hits to the 17 hit attack. Queens Academy should be commended for their sportsmanship and graciousness in the defeat.
