Cloyd followed with a single to center, but Sherrill rifled a strike to Davenport to get Cantrell trying to advance on the Cloyd's single.
CCHS came back with a run in the bottom of the fourth on singles by Hankins and Jones, a wild pitch, a sacrifice, a passed ball and an error to slice the lead to 5-4.
Monterey plated five runs in the fifth on singles by Mathews, Dustin Ward, Coggsdale and Phillips, a double by McCormick, a passed ball and an error to give the Wildcats a 10-4 advantage.
