John Hosmer's base-clearing double in a five-run sixth inning made it 7-4 and put the Wildcats in front for good. Hosmer and Jacob Hinderleider finished the night with three hits apiece.
The Wildcats got on the board in the third with RBI-doubles by Michael Carico and Ryan Wilson. Garrett Browder and Tyler Douglas added RBI-doubles before and after Hosmer in the sixth, and Browder drove in another run on a seventh-inning sacrifice fly.
By the time Parker Nolan's groundout plated Wilson in the eighth, the Wildcats led 10-4.
Right-hander Ryan Kutz came on to pitch in the fourth and threw five innings, allowing three hits and striking out three, en route to his first career win.
Bennett Flynn recorded the final two outs with the bases loaded to notch the save.
