Wildcats victim of perfect game / Softball

Meadowdale’s Grant Kinmann stole the spotlight in Oak Harbor High School’s final softball home game of the season, pitching a five-inning perfect game in the Mavericks’ 12-0 win.

Not only did Kinmann not allow a Wildcat baserunner, she struck out 14 of the 15 batters she faced.

Kinmann reached a three-ball count only once and fanned the first 10 Oak Harbor hitters before Sam Scott grounded out to the first baseman in the fourth inning.

Only three of Meadowdale’s runs were earned off Oak Harbor starter Emily Wilson, as the Wildcats committed five errors.

The Mavericks remained in first place in the Western Conference, upping their record to 13-0 (15-4). Oak Harbor fell to 2-11 (4-15).

Oak Harbor completes the regular season at Cedarcrest (5-8, 8-11) at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 8.
