Wildcat Baseball and Softball Teams Swept By Reading

Reading High School's baseball and softball teams were in town earlier this week, traveling to face Wilmington High School in Middlesex League action.

The Lady Wildcats took a 1-0 edge on Tuesday before the Rockets began to climb back and shortly after took a 2-1 lead in the early innings. Reading eventually went on to a 5-1 win.

On the baseball diamond, meanwhile, Reading showed why it is ranked No. 7 in the state by ESPN Boston. Wilmington, however, also put up a strong showing against a difficult foe despite a 7-1 loss.

Wilmington trailed just 4-1 entering the final frame, but that's when the Rockets tacked on three insurance runs.
