On Monday, April 11 at Scotty Bunton Field vs. the Rangers from Unaka, the Bulldogs recorded 12 hits and collected 14 walks (BB). It is rare a team has double figures in both categories, but that explains our high run production in a 26-4 win.
A notable aspect of our ball club has been the production of our bench when they have been given an opporunity. Monday was a great example. In his first year playing, Kalway Heaton went 2-2 with 2 RBI, and 2 Runs scored. Andon Winters hit a 2 RBI 2B off of the bench. Senior second year player, Collin Eller knocked in two runs on a shot down the LF line. Seth Hughes made a spot start in LF and collected an RBI after being hit in the head with the bases loaded! Our bench squad has shown well for themselves.
Josh Whitson is quietly putting together a special season on the bump. The junior right hander faced 9 Unaka Rangers in his 3 innings pitched on Monday, striking out 7 of the 9. Whitson now has a 4-1 won/loss record on the season, after earning the win by going 3 no-hit, shutout innings in the 5 inning game.
The Stoney Creek boys will come ready for revenge on Tuesday, April 12, as we have another 7:00 Varsity first pitch on Tueseay night (JV at 4:30).
