Senior Jacob Lara hurled seven innings of shutout baseball, allowing only two singles in a masterful effort that clinched a playoff berth for the Bay City Blackcats. Lara, normally used in relief, struck out 10 Terry Rangers in the 8-0 win.

Bay City has now qualified for the playoffs 15 out of the last 16 years and will play the winner of District 24-4A, which is yet to be determined.

LaDarian Stone had three hits, two of which were doubles, and drove in a pair as well. Lara drove in a run with a single and DJ Dominguez drove in two with a sacrifice fly and a double.

Seven errors lead to eight Ricebird runs in the Cats final home game Monday night. Junior Daniel Green got the start for the Cats, but did not make it out of the first inning and was relieved by AJ Flores. Flores worked the remainder of the game, striking out three and allowing nine hits.

Bay City had seven hits, including RBIs by Dominguez and Lara.

The Blackcats finished the regular season at 13-12.
