JOHNSON CITY – The Hellcats traveled to Johnson City in hopes of cracking into the season with yet another win – however, high powered Johnson City smacked them for a 11-0 loss on the road.

The difference in the game proved to be the superb hitting of Johnson City – snagging seven hits to the Hellcats two – while two errors in the field compared to JC’s errorless fielding, didn’t help the cause.

It was the seniors who came through for the Hellcats in their road loss on Wednesday, June 14, as Oxford senior Jon Heggie finished 1-3 and Norwich senior Cristobal Caballero managed to go 1-2 on the night.

Fellow senior Nate Scheer of Norwich stood on the mound for the Hellcat loss, pitching 4.1 innings – adding eight strikeouts and just four walks in his efforts.

“I feel that Nate (Scheer) pitched great,” said Hellcat head coach Ben Barnes. “Then several late game walks from the relief killed us. These lead to the fifth inning mercy.”
