Leopold rallies for 17-16 victory

Leopold's baseball team took a cue from the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday, scoring seven runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game, then scoring a run in the eighth to complete the rally for a 17-16 win over visiting Meadow Heights.

Matt Stoverink pitched the eighth inning for the Wildcats, then scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch after getting a one-out double. The wild pitch actually came on the third strike, which would have been the third out, but the throw came home.

Stoverink was 5-for-6 at the plate and had three RBIs. Kelly Stause added four hits and Victor Vandeven had two for Leopold, which improved to 8-5 with its fourth straight win.

Terry Wagner had two hits for Meadow Heights.
