The Border Cats fell to the Rochester Honkers in extra innings Sunday, putting the team on a five-game losing streak near the end of what has been a disastrous road trip.
The Cats (4-6) lost 4-3 against the Honkers in the 10th inning, putting in the books another loss that follows a solid Cats starting pitching performance.
This time it was Michael Woytek who gave his team a winning performance for 6.1 innings. The right handed pitcher allowed only one run to score on four hits, struck out four and walked one before leaving the mound.
The Cats were in front 3-1 when the Honkers rallied against relief pitcher Corey Pappel (0-1), who was making his debut for the team in Rochester.
Trying to avoid a Honkers sweep, the Cats will face the Honkers once more Monday night in Rochester at 8:05 p.m.
It is the last of the Cats’ six-game road trip as the team returns to Port Arthur Stadium for a short, two-game homestand.
