The Wildcats can keep their boss on his feet a little longer if they finish the season with two more wins. The first of those critical games comes tonight when they face crosstown rival Vacaville. Action starts at 6 p.m. at Eleanor Nelson Park, and admission will be charged. All the games are the same now. We're not going to get any help, so we have to win them all.
Wood faces Napa Monday in a rain make-up, but first up are the Bulldogs.
Vacaville won the first meeting, scoring single runs in the fifth and sixth innings for a 2-1 victory on April 9. The Wildcats have been stronger in the rest of their schedule, though, and enter today's game with a 12-4 Monticello Empire League record. Wins over Vacaville and Napa probably would lift the Wildcats into a second-place tie with the Spartans and Crushers. Hogan finishes against Vallejo today, while Vintage plays Napa. Section playoffs begin May 19 in Sacramento.
