Daniel Panadero, Tyler Tom and Cooke Tarleton combined on a one-hitter. Panadero picked up the victory, pitching two innings and striking out five.
William Deardorff led the Cate offense, going 4 for 4 with a double, three runs scored and a RBI. Matty Holmes had two hits and an RBI, while Panadero doubled for Cate. John Endres had a single and Liam Burdock kicked off his Cate career with a two-hit performance.
“Regardless of the outcome, it was great to be back on the field for game action,” said Cate assistant David Soto. “The return to play was made even better by a solid team performance. While we still have plenty to work on, this was a great first step in our season.”
