Malay Hits 2 home runs in Polecats Win
The Libertyville Polecats beat the Washington Wildthings by a score of 4-2. Libertyville first baseman Chris Malay deserved the lion's share of the credit. Malay hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Polecats. The overall performance of the 2026 Wildthings has been rotten so far.

Malay contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Libertyville in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 2-1, Malay took a changeup from Dan Telford and stroked the home run to right. His 7th home run of the season allowed the Polecats to leap in front, 3-2.

"We're not really clicking on anything right now," said Washington manager Brendan Rees.
