Posted May 19/10 - Wildcats Throttle Hutch Huskies, 13-0

The Winsted Wildcats kicked off their 4 games in 5 days stretch by traveling to Hutch to take on the Huskies Wednesday night. Let's not beat around the bush here....It wasn't much of a game. The Wildcats absolutely dismantled the Huskies, by a score of 13-0 in 7 innings.

The Wildcats benefited immensely by numerous walks (combo platter of being hit by pitches and/or the garden variety, 4 pitch walks). Scoring 13 runs on only 6 Wildcats hits should tell the story on how poor the Huskies pitching was. And when the Huskies managed to get the ball over the plate, the Wildcats batters hit the ball HARD.

Throwing for the Wildcats Wednesday night was Josh "I Used To Play For Watertown" Anthony. Good old #7 pitched 6 shutout innings allowing only 2 Huskies hits. Anthony struggled a bit early with pitch consistency, but by the 4th inning, he got everything clicking and was throwing gas again.

The Wildcats also welcomed college baseball "sensation" Joe Kley back to the team for the 1st time this season. "Baby Joesus" returned to the Cats' from the NCAA Division II Central Region Tournament in New Mexico, where he played for his beloved Winona State Warriors. Kley pitched a clean 7th inning to wrap up the "W" for the Wildcats tonight.

And now, "The Game Awards"...

The "Quote of the Night Award" goes to: Matt Wroge. Catcher Matt Wroge yelled "Pansy" from the dugout when cousin Gregg Kohler ducked out of the way from a fastball headed straight for "Gweggy's head. For those not in attendance, it was completely silent when Wroge yelled, so essentially every person who was in attendance at Veteran's Memorial Field tonight heard Wroge's callous remark.
The ""Timeout" of the Night Award" goes to Benny Machemehl. Benny "Machs" was issued a 2 inning "Silence" timeout in the 4th inning tonight for not being able to identify a very popular movie quote from the movie "Major League." Benny was told he had to go sit by the water faucet for 2 innings and not talk to anyone during the penalty period. Machs then started writing questions down instead of talking, which resulted in the pen promptly being taken away from him. Coach Hammer also had to restrain other unnamed Wildcats players from attacking Machs since he disclosed that he had only seen the edited version of "Major League." After everything calmed down, Machs was advised that it was in his best interest to watch the unedited (real) version of "Major League" before Friday night's game so he would know what the rest of the team was referring to in the future. Machs, time to get your act together ;)

That's all I've got at this time. More to follow after the upcoming games.
