WildCatters complete sweep

TYLER - Ray Davis hurled a one-hit shutout as the Tyler WildCatters completed a three-game Texas-Louisiana League sweep of Abilene with an 8-0 win Wednesday.

The Prairie Dogs return home for their final homestand of the season, a seven-game homestand beginning tonight against the Lubbock Crickets.

Tyler's Davis gave up a first-inning single to Darryl Monroe for the only hit he allowed in the game. He struck out nine and walked just one.

Abilene left-hander Hank Lott, the losing pitcher in the game, battled Davis in a pitcher's duel until the WildCatters scored two runs in a fifth inning on a double-play groundout and an error.

Tyler loaded the bases on Lott in the sixth. Reliever Chip Mercer hit a batter to force in a run, and Chris Cassels added an RBI single.

Cassels belted a two-run homer off Jeff Matulevich to cap a four-run eighth inning for the WildCatters.
