Wildcats ease past New Haven in district victory

NEW BLOOMFIELD - Once the New Bloomfield Wildcats got themselves settled at the plate, the New Haven Shamrocks were sunk.

Freshman shortstop Grant Nichols tied the game with a three-run double in the bottom of the second and New Bloomfield batted around during a five-run fourth as the No. 4 seed Wildcats toppled No. 5 New Haven 10-5 on Saturday in the first round of the Class 2, District 8 Tournament.
