Wildcats survive Mean Moose rally, 12-6

By LLOYD ENGEN

ALAMOSA — Sophomore left-hander Chance Fluke pitched a solid game for the Maroons Saturday morning, using outstanding control and a good curve ball and adding a home run while his teammates played almost errorless ball behind him.

However, the Pueblo Central Wildcats used the long ball and a good outing on the mound by Dion DeHerrera to take a 12-6 win as the teams wrapped up a wild, grueling week of play for the S-CL teams, making up all their games that had been postponed due to snow and rain the last couple weeks.

For Alamosa, it was the fourth game in four days, and fifth game for the week, raising havoc with pitching rotations.

But Fluke’s outing was one of optimism for the future, with just one inning getting out of control. The Wildcats took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on a solo home run over the right-center field fence by catcher Travis Godec.

Fluke then kept the Wildcats off the scoreboard in the second, backed by a catch on the run in center field by Elario Rickey and a pickoff at second base.
