The Cisco Loboes came to DeLeon this past Monday and defeated the Bearcats 2-5 in a very big district ball game. If the Bearcats had won, they were almost guaranteed a playoff position, but the loss placed four teams fighting for three playoff positions.

Cisco started the scoring by pushing a runner across the plate in the first inning and took a 0-1 lead after one complete inning of play.

In the second inning, the Bearcats were able to capture the lead after scoring two runs in the bottom of the second. DeLeon was not able to hold the lead for long as the Loboes answered with two runs in the top of the third to recapture the lead that they would not relinquish.

Cisco would later score two more runs in the top of the sixth while the Bearcats consistently put people on base but were unable to score any more runs after the second inning.

"Overall Cisco just executed and were able to drive in runners when they got on base," said Coach Mark Adams, "We didn't do a bad job hitting overall, just a bad job hitting with runners on base. We weren't able to move runners and put pressure on the defense like we normally do, but when you play six good games to begin the district you might run into a game like we played against Cisco."

"We have three games left against good teams, and all we have to do is play our game and we'll be in good shape. I have complete confidence in these young men," added Coach Adams.

L.C. Williams pitched all seven inning for the Bearcats while Glen Morgan and Kia McCarty had good games from defensively for the Bearcats.

The Bearcats will travel to Hamilton on Friday to play the first place Bulldogs. With a defeat of Hamilton, the Bearcats will be able to pull into a tie for first place. A loss would put the Bearcats in a possible three way tie with Dublin and Cisco. The game is scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m. in Hamilton.
