"The kids played amazing and have handled all of the extra attention extremely well. Jake hit a homerun on the first pitch he saw of the season. The team finished third after all was said and done," said Wildcats Coach Brian Smith.

Aside from playing ball, the Wildcats raised over $2,000 for the Lecroy Family following a Silent Auction held last weekend.
