Tonight was about much more then Wins & Loses, tonight we honored our 4 seniors. As they took turns walking the Bulldogs base path one last time collecting gifts and hugs from their teammates and coaches as stories about them were read to the crowd.  I will truly miss these 4 beautiful people but, I am very proud of each one of them and all the things they have accomplished. Senior Chloe Witter will be moving on and attending Grand Valley, Senior Londyn Brown will become a Spartan, Senior Raj Esquivel will be going to CMU  & Senior Melayna Braman will also be attending Central Michigan. Thanks for all your effort with the Ionia Softball Program and Good Luck to each of you. Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog!
