An impressive post-season run by Wharton came to a close as
the Wildcats could find no answer for Tallahassee Lincoln starting pitcher
Austin Pollock, as the Florida State commit tossed a complete-game, two-hit
shutout to give the Trojans a 2-0 Class 8A region final win.
Lincoln (24-6) got a single from its leadoff hitter in the bottom of the first followed by a two-run homer from sophomore Josiah
Miller to spoil a solid outing for Wildcats senior pitcher Austin Appel.  Those were the only two hits Appel would allow in the game as he finishes the season 7-2.Wildcats coach Scott Hoffman said the Trojans got those first two runs and then played excellent defense to hold on for the win.

Wharton (18-9) went on a 10-game winning streak prior to
Friday’s road loss.Congrats to Coach Scott Hoffman and the Wildcats on a great
run.
