Cate gets victory in extra innings

The Cate School baseball team needed an extra inning to take care of Camp Kilpatrick, but got the job done and earned an 8-7 home victory on Wednesday.

“It was a see saw game,” Rams head coach Ben Soto said.

The game featured two lead changes and a 7-7 tie after seven innings.

In the botom of the eight, Mike Warren hit a two-out single to bring home Patrick Thomas, who had been walked earlier in the inning. The hit gave the Rams their fourth victory of the season.
