Wildcat Pitching Keeps Jr. Cardinals at Bay

by

The Norris City-Omaha-Enfield Junior High baseball team played their only game of the week Tuesday afternoon when they welcomed the Carrier Mills Wildcats to town. This game did not get off to the start that NCOE had hoped when the Wildcats jumped out to the early 2-0 lead. This lead would swell each inning for Carrier Mills as they would manage to push runs across in each inning until the fifth inning when the Jr.Cards would hold the Wildcats scoreless. This, however, did not change the outcome as the Wildcat pitching would dominate from start to finish and hold NCOE scoreless the entire game as they handed the Jr.Cards the 11-0 loss.

Darkness Puts Halt to Jr.Cards Game at Wayne City

by

The NCOE Junior Cardinal baseball team traveled to Wayne City to take on the Braves in a non conference game to wrap up their week of play.  The Junior Cardinals got off to a slow start when they found themselves trailing by four runs following the first inning of play.  NCOE regrouped in the second inning and came alive to plate four runs of their own to knot the game at 4-all.  The Jr. Cards would then push four more runs across the plate in the third inning to take their first lead of the game at 8-4.  This Jr. Cards would push their lead to five runs following one in the top of the fourth, but faulty defense would come into play for NCOE in the bottom of the fourth inning as they allowed 12 Wayne City runs to fall behind 16-9.  At this time, the game for some strange reason would be called, resulting in a Junior Cardinal loss.
