Senior captain Hunter Brown tossed a three-hitter to lead Wayland to a 3-1 victory Wednesday in the nightcap of a doubleheader against Hastings.

The Wildcats led for much of the game, but a few key hits allowed Hastings to come from behind for the victory. The Cats’ offense clicked early, but the bats slowed down after the first few innings. They finished with eight hits for the game.
