The Bulldogs watched the game slip away early and we didn't recover, we struggled to put runs on the board and had a tough time defensively. Tori Gutierrez took the loss going 6 innings,  allowing 11 runs on 9 hits and striking out 6. Ionia only managed 6 hits, Struck Out 5 times and committed 3 costly errors. 

In the 2nd game we came out and played much better but, lost 3-2. I was proud of the way we came back and played with pride in the 2nd game. We actually out hit Willimston 8-4 but, again we committed 3 costly errors. Kaidence Thomas threw the 2nd game and had a nice outing, allowing 4 hits, giving up 3 runs while walking 2 and striking out one. Offensively Thomas went 2 for 3, Raj Esquivel went 2 for 4, Mel Braman & Tori Guiterrez each smacked a double, Alley Strasser and Kam Perry each had one hit.  The game was tied at 2 in the bottom of the 5th when an error scored the go ahead run on an error. 

That puts us at 2-5 & 1 and we play in the Gull Lake tourney this Saturday at Bailey Park in BattleCreek.
