In local baseball from over the weekend, the Muscatty Mudcats enjoyed a two-to-one walk-off
win against visiting Wyoda in Sunday League home talent baseball.
The win improved their record to two-and-five, while Wyoda fell to three-and-four.
It was a defensive battle throughout, with Alex Meister of Muscatty pitching seven of
the nine innings on a very warm day.
He struck out three, walked two, and gave up seven hits, and just one run.
In Conway, work seven from the mound, struck out six, walked one, and yielded six hits.
Max Amount, with the chance to work to two batters before being injured in the eighth inning,
engaged Banfield pitch the remainder of the game, while suffering the loss.
Tyson Starkey was the winning pitcher from Muscatty after striking out two, walking one,
and pitching two hitless innings.
Wyoda scored its only run on the fifth, when Braille and Goalball singled and eventually
scored on a sacrifice fly by Reagan Jackson.
The one-nothing scored did not change until one out in the ninth inning.
Tyson Starkey singled for Muscatty, Logan Olson walked, both runners stole the base,
and were waiting at second and third, when Casey Layton stepped to the plate.
Layton with a couple of swings and stands in, one ball and no strikes, sheer to the hitter.
Base hit put ended right now.
Banfield with the pitch ripped in the air, center field, center field going over, he
walked at it, Muscatty is going to win it, Layton going to second base, he's there with
a double in Muscatty, wins it on a walkoff, two to one, this call, Casey Layton to here
as Muscatty walks off Wyoda in the bottom of the ninth inning.
How about that?
Muscatty's only leading the game, came on that game's final play.
I asked Casey Layton afterwards how it felt to get the win.
I feel good.
I mean, we've been hot for that first landing on a couple of weeks, and finally get here
as big, and coming out on a stretch, a lot of games, we got to win, make playoffs,
and put a line up here, and we're still good.
Muscatty has had a lot of close games.
Every game we've been in there, you know, like arena, we lost, two nothing, a bell over
a lot, say seven, so, you know, we've been in there every game, and finally get a win,
still good.
And Layton says he appreciates the teamwork.
I love playing Muscatty, like I said before, and I love playing with all these guys.
It means a lot of playing with these guys, and it's coming every Sunday, thankful.
Josh Cartwright and Tyson Starkey both were two for four for the visitors.
Kay Janaki was two for three with a lock for the Indians in the loss.

One of the most popular Milwaukee Bucks has decided to stay home.
Bobby Portis, known as the Mayor, has reached an agreement on a three year 44 million dollar
contract with the NBA team.
Portis has been one of the top players off the bench over the last five years, averaging
14 points, 8.4 rebounds per game, and hitting 36% of his three pointers.
Another reserve, Ryan Rollins, has accepted the team's qualifying offer, and Kevin Porter
Jr. has rejected his player option.
Well, Ron James is exercising his 52.6 million dollar contract, and it appears that he is
making plans for playing his 23rd NBA season.
That would be the first time a player has played that many years in the NBA.
Also the condition of being anonymous was prevailed because James or the Lakers have not
officially made the decision, but from an inside source, it sounds like he's been an
all in the NBA pick, 21 of his 22 seasons in the league.
Another notes from the world of sports, there may be a challenge looming for the pack
or offensive line.
As the season approaches, it's possible that three of the team's top linemen won't
be on the field when training camp starts next month, multi-year starter, Elton Jenkins
wants a better deal in exchange for switching to play center, second round draft pick Anthony
Belton hasn't signed a contract yet, but only two other second rounders have, and
Zach Tom, maybe Green Bay's best lineman, also wants a new deal.
General manager Brian Guntakun says work is being done to finalize Tom's contract.
That's an update on sports for this Monday morning.
I am Filney.
