Page’s walk-off homerun keeps Wildcats undefeated in area play

Enterprise senior Ryan Page closed out his final regular season home game in style with a game-winning walk-off homerun that lifted the Enterprise Wildcats (17-16, 7-0) over Prattville 4-3 on Tuesday, April 16.

Enterprise and Prattville dueled it out in the first inning with each side scoring two runs and then Prattville took a 3-1 lead in the top of the second inning.

Neither team was able to get back on the scoreboard until Enterprise’s Gabe Anderson drove senior Grant Thornton home for the game-tying run in the bottom of the sixth inning to bring the score to 3-3.

Neither team was able to score in the seventh inning, and the Wildcat defense took care of business in the top of the eighth inning with three straight outs.

Then, Page stepped to the plate as Enterprise’s first batter in the bottom of the eighth and blistered a line drive homerun into left field to secure the win and keep the Wildcats undefeated in area play.

Anderson and Connor Couch both went 2-for-3 at the plate with Anderson securing two RBIs.
