ENID -- The Ponca City Wildcats jumped out to an early lead, but in the end it was the Enid Plainsmen who claimed a victory in a game played Saturday in David Allen Memorial Ball Park.

The Wildcats scored four times in the first inning. Enid retaliated with two in the first, two more in the second and then seven in the third to take a commanding lead. The Wildcats added one in the third and Enid finished with four in the fourth on its way to a 15-5 win.

Ponca City had a relatively good day at bat, pounding out nine hits. Enid finished the game with 10 hits.

Leading the Wildcat hit list were Gavin Cunningham and Nate Harbeson with two apiece. With one hit each were Grant Harmon, Brody Wicker, Carson Williams, Tabron Stanton and Brett Haney. One of Harbeson’s hits was a double.

Zeke Branstetter was the starting pitcher for the Wildcats. Also seeing action were Corey Marazas and Collier Lively.

In the four-run first inning for Ponca City, Harmon led off with a single. Brody Wicker drew a base on balls and Stanton singled to load the bases. Teagan Hodgson was hit by a pitch to force Harmon across the plate with Ponca CIty’s first run. Hunter Freeman walked to push Wicker across the plate with the second run. Harbeson was hit by a pitch, which brought in Stanton to score. Cunningham then singled, scoring Hodgson.

In the third, Harbeson led off with a double. Haney singled with Harbeson going to third. Harmon put down a sacrifice bunt on which Harbeson scored. Ponca City eventually had the bases loaded with Wicker getting hit by a pitch and Williams walking, but the inning ended with only one run having scored.

In the fourth, Ponca City had a threat with Harbeson and Cunningham each singling, but no runs scored.

The loss drops Ponca City’s record to 4-17. A game was scheduled against Owasso in Ponca City Monday and another on Tuesday in Owasso.
