The Wildcats jumped to a 3-0 lead after three innings.. Belle answered with two runs in the top of the fourth to pull within a run. When Licking answered with a run of its own in the bottom of the inning, Belle promptly tied the game 4-4 with two tallies in the fifth
From that juncture, Licking pulled away and ran their record to 11-2 with the victory. The Wildcat offense managed just six hits but took advantage of six walks and four Belle errors.
Austin Stephens was 3-for-4 at the plate to pace offense for Licking. Malachi Antle, Cole Wallace, and Kannon Buckner all recorded two runs-batted-in on the evening.
