The first game was a 16-5 win for the Bulldogs, we took a 9-0 lead into the 5th inning before giving up 4 runs but, we blew things up in the 7th inning scoring 7 runs. Victoria Gutierrez got the Win, allowing 5 runs on 6 hits, striking out 4 and walking one. Offensively the Bulldogs racked up 12 hits led by Melayna Braman going 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs & scoring 3 runs. First baseman Alley Strasser went 3 for 4, collecting 2 RBIs and scoring 2 runs. Kamryn Perry went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs & scored 2 runs. Raj Esquivel went 2 for 4 with 3 RBIs, scoring 2 runs and going yard in the 3rd inning. 

In the 2nd game the Bulldogs lost 7-6 in the bottom of the 7th. It was an interesting game with several situations that will help us learn and grow as our season moves on. The game ended with 2 challenged calls but, things don't always go the way you want, so, learn and grow and move on. I am really proud of the Bulldogs! They played hard, had some great plays and some almost great plays. Kaidence Thomas threw the first 2 innings surrendering 3 runs on 4 hits. Melayna Braman threw 4.1 innings , giving up 6 hits & allowing 4 runs striking out 3.  Offensively we were led by Tori Gutierrez going 3 for 3 and collecting 3 RBIs. 

Ionia is now 2 & 2 and we make the long trip to Fowlerville on Thursday.
