May 29th, 2024 by Asa Lucas
The CAM Cougars had a 13-3 win over the Glidden Ralston Wildcats on Wednesday night with an 8 run fifth inning to spark the comeback. Out of the gate Glidden-Ralston was first to score with 3 runs in the top of the second with an error and RBI Triple from Allison Snyder to make it 3-0. CAM would then respond in the bottom of the third with a base hit from Keeley Kinney and infield error to make the game 3-1. Starting pitcher for the Wildcats Jaelyan Subbert seemed to be locked in as she would retire the next three batters for CAM in the fourth. Things drastically changed though with the Cougars in the fifth when their bats suddenly came alive and they brought in 8 runs off of 9 hits. The lead then changed with CAM up 9-3 and Glidden-Ralston’s hitting woes continued as they only had 4 hits on the night. The Cougars ended the game in the bottom of the sixth with 3 doubles and a walk off wild pitch at 13-3.
CAM’s Keely Kinney who went 3-4 with an RBI and Emma Follmann who had 3-4 at the plate with two doubles and an RBI showed a big night for their team.
One of the CAM Co-Coaches Jeni Follmann’s message to her team heading into the fifth down 3-1 was to have confidence.
Follmann was also impressed with the way her team kept their composure when they were down early.
With the impressive win the Cougars improve to 2-1 and will take on Stanton at home Thursday night. Coach Follmann noted that she wants to see her squad continue to bring their energy with them into Thursday’s contest.
The Wildcats fall to 2-2 with their loss and head back home for a matchup against Greene County Thursday evening.
