The Emporium Alle-Catt baseball team faced elimination from the playoffs on Sunday but had perhaps their best performance of the year, shutting out Eldred 15-0. The convincing victory avenged a regular season loss to Eldred and advanced the Catts in the league championship playoffs.
After losing to Crosby in the opening round of the playoffs last week Emporium needed a win to stay alive in the double elimination event and trounced the visitors at Olivett Field. The Catts amassed a total of thirteen hits and were the beneficiaries of six walks by Eldred pitching, while veteran right hander Saul Solveson limited the losers to just two hits while striking out eight and walking one.
