Game #1 

Ionia 5 Charlotte 1

Game #2 

Ionia 2 Charlotte 0

On senior night the Ionia Bulldogs celebrated their seniors with a pair of wins over league foe Charlotte.  

Senior Ethan Bowen had a no-hitter in the 7th inning with 1 out before giving up his only hit.  He pitched 7 innings 1 run, 1 hit, 3 walks and 11 strikeouts.  Ethan has been solid all season, he has 85 strikeouts in 44.2 innings pitched, which is off the charts, especially against the teams he's pitched against.  

Offensively, Ethan Bowen was 2-3 with 2 Rbi's, Kane Lundstrom was 1-2 with an Rbi and run scored, Garrett Lee 1-3 and 2 Rbi's, while Matt McCoy and Gage Flanner both added hits.  

Game #2 saw another great pitching performance by the Bulldogs. Junior Carter Castillo gives Ionia one of the best pitching duos in the area.  He pitched 7 innings, 0 runs, 3 hits, 4 walks and 10 strikeouts.  When we have those two on the mound we have a chance to beat anyone. Ionia was led by Matt McCoy who was 2-3, Ethan Bowen 1-3 and a double, Alex Barr 1-3, Danny McCoy 1-2 while Garrett Lee picked up an Rbi.  

Ionia improves to 20-9 on the season and finished 6-4 in the tough CAAC White Division.  

This group of players are a very special group of young men.  Especially the seniors who have been playing together from a very early age.  Lots of dedication, work and hours went behind the scenes and they deserve every bit of success they're having.  Congrats to our seniors, Garrett Lee, Austin Currigan, Lance Atkinson, Miles Gregory, Danny McCoy, Ethan Bowen and Kane Lundstrom.
