Game one was a 9-4 Loss for Ionia, although I feel like we played a decent game and we were seeing the ball well just not coming through with a hit when we needed it as we stranded 8 base runners. Senior Mel Braman had a big game going 3 for 4, scoring a run and collecting one RBI. Senior Raj Esquivel went 2 for 2 with a run & an RBI. Senior Chloe Witter smacked a deep double and getting 2 RBI's.  Junior Kaidence Thomas threw a ,really good game, going 7 innings with 5 K's and gave up 11 hits. Ionia defense needs to keep working on cutting out the errors as we suffered 5 infield E's and that's tough to overcome. 

In the second game the Ionia Bulldogs out hit the Mason Bulldogs 11 - 7 and lost the game 14-4, we struggled from the circle walking 9 and defense behind them suffered 5 errors again. Tori Guiterrez lasted 2 innings giving up 5 hits and 5 walks, Chloe Witter threw 2 innings walking 4 and giving up 2 hits.  Offense was led by Kaidence Thomas going 2 for 2,  Chloe Witter went 2 for 3, Emma White went 2 for 2.

Happy that we played a couple games tonight as we play Saturday at 10:00 a.m. in the MHSAA  District Games in Lakewood vs Portland. We ended with a 15-21-1 record.
