Heading into last week’s play, Woodmore baseball was tied for first place with Lake at 4-1 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. The Wildcats’ prospects were looking good. Then came a 3-2 loss to NBC preseason favorite Otsego, and suddenly the ‘Cats were not on top anymore. But they will stay in the hunt if Woodmore coach Jacob Huss has anything to say about it. On Wednesday at Eastwood, the Eagles scored eight runs in the bottom of the fourth and Ethan Rapp tossed a one-hitter as the Wildcats fell, 11-1, in a five-inning mercy ruled game. Rapp needed just 72 pitches, 38 of them strikes.
