Polecats Win with Late Heroics
The Libertyville Polecats knocked off the Washington Wildthings, 7-6, at Field of the Polecats. It took 10 innings. Eric Kraft was a prime reason Libertyville won. The designated hitter was 3-5 with 3 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Libertyville has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the tenth. With one out, Kraft hit a cutter from Jim Unknown for a run-scoring single. The Polecats, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Kraft.
