Not the best weather for our 8th annual Strike out Cancer Games but, both teams were all in to show up and honor the survivors & remember the the taken. The Bulldogs took the lead late and defeated the Redhawks 8-7. Kaidence Thomas threw the entire game, allowing 9 hits & 7 runs while striking out 7. The Bulldogs had 7 hits in the game led by Kennedy Batista going 2 for 3, scoring one run & collecting 2 RBI's. Junior Catcher Kamryn Perry went 2 for 4, knocking in 2 big runs. The Bulldogs were very aggressive on the bases with 8 steals.

In the second game Melayna Braman drove in 5 runs on 3 hits, she doubled in the fourth, tripled in the 5th & 6th. The sticks stayed hot in game 2 and we ended up with 15 hits. Senior Londyn Brown went 4 for 5 collecting 5 RBI's and scoring 2 runs. Raj Esquivel went 3 for 6 with one RBI and scoring 2 runs. Junior Kaidence Thomas threw all 7 innings of this game too, allowing 9 hits and 3 runs and Struck out 4. 

We are 9-7 & 1 and we hit the road next week as we travel to Portland Tuesday, Mason on Thursday & E.R. Friday.

The games are important and improving is important but, nothing over rides the importance of wearing a jersey with the name of a survivor or the name of someone taken to soon. I wore my jersey to remember my dad and this is a very emotional game and I am proud of everyone for wanting to help out the community with this ICA  cancer awareness game. Thanks to Everyone that helped make this happen, I see you!!

Go Blue!
