All good things must come to an end and the NMU baseball winning streak falls into that catergory. The Wildcats school record winning streak is over after The Kettering Engineers pulled out a huge win in the first game of their double header. Kettering touched starter Dave Glavin for five runs in the fifth, driving him from the mound after just 2/3 of an inning. Reliever Josh Pifke shut them down from there, allowing just 2 runs in the fifth.

The Engineers scored once off Vinnie Davidson in the seventh and twice in the eighth off Jean Chiquet. Offensively, the Wildcats could get nothing going all day. They put just two runners in scoring position all day, but failed to score. Kettering ace Matt Senter struck out 15 Wildcats for the complete game shut out victory. In game two, the Wildcats jumped out to an early lead. Brandon Wislocki singled and stole second before Bryan Wislocki double him home.

Justin Young then singled to score Bryan Wislocki. The lead would not hold up as Kettering strung together five hits to take a 3-2 lead and drive C. W. Mayher from the mound. The Wildcats regained the lead when Jason Paul doubled and scored on a throwing error by Engineer catcher Tommy Dafoe. In the third Gordon Glas made it 4-3 with an inside the park home run. The 'Cats eventually made it 8-3 before the Engineers struck back with four runs in the sixth. The 'Cats put together six straight hits in the seventh, scoring three runs to make it 11-7.

But Kettering was able to exploit a tired Wildcat bullpen. Jean Chiquet survived the four run rally in the sixth only to give up another run in the seventh. Vinnie Davidson was touched for four runs in the eighth to tie the score at 12. Todd Small put the Wildcats back in the lead with a walk, stolen base, sacrifice, and wild pitch in the ninth. But closer Dave Peck could not hold it. Back to back doubles tied the game at 13 before Dafoe ended it with a 2 run blast. "We nver expected a perfect season,"

Manager Rob Preseau said. "We thought we might at least enter conference with no losses." After 15 wins to start the year, the 'Cats now fall to 15-2. "We just have to rebound," Brandon Wislocki said. "After losing game one we just couldn't focus on game two and they jumped all over us." Despite the best offensive production of the year in game two which saw the Wildcats score in every inning and top the ten run mark for the first time since May 7, 1997, they fell victem to big innings. "We usually stop rallies with big defensive plays, but it just wasn't happening," Jason Paul said. "They hit bloop singles and drives to the gap which made our defense ineffective."

The Wildcats will open GLIAC play Sunday at home against Michigan Tech.
