The Bulldogs look forward to finish this week vs the Rams that has so far not gone well. Friday starters are David Madrid, Josh Giuliacci and Arjun Kalarai.
On Wednesday afternoon the Varsity Bulldogs had a rough 14-0 loss while also getting no hits. Wasn't much for Coach to say after this one except flush it and move on.
Wednesday April 17
Coaches Comments: Jacoby Freitas and Logan Palladino pitched a great game. Jacoby also had a great day on offense with a home run in the top of the fifth to take a 4-3 lead.
He was 1-2 with 2RBI & 2 runs scored.
Wednesday, April 17
Coaches Comments: We had a tough loss on Wednesday. We were down 4-0 in the 1st inning and it is hard to bounce back against a good team. We didn't swing it well and didn't take advantage of big opportunity for a couple of runs. We need to manufacture runs and not be hopeful and that seemed to be our biggest issue today. After a rough 1st inning Alfonso Silveira fought hard and held them to minimal damage and then Antonio Zaipien kept throwing strikes, but it was way out of our hands by then as St. Mary's took over.
I look forward to our next game as we get to the wipe the slate clear and restart. Going to face a good pitching again and hope the bats come around.
2 runs in the 2 games and 5 hits in those two aren't going to get the job done. Thank goodness we get to play anew.

St. Mary's 6 - Tracy 0
Tracy faced a hard throwing Junior on the St. Mary's squad Monday and could only generate 3 hits off Tanner Grove who threw a complete game collecting 15 strikeouts. Meanwhile the Tracy pitching staff consisting of Jace Johnson, Wyatt Brandt, and Kayden Mattos worked diligently with their catcher Ryan Torres to keep the Rams from inflicting overwhelming damage. Although the game ended in a 6-0 loss, the Bulldogs did stay in the game early and ultimately did not let the Rams run away with it.
Johnson would throw the first 3 innings allowing 3 runs on 5 hits. Brandt came in for 2 2/3 innings of relief and also gave up 3 runs. Mattos kept the Rams guessing and threw the final 1 1/3 allowing just 2 hits.
Tracy's offense was led by Nolan Wortham who started at 2nd base and went 2-2 plus a walk. Tony Romano was the only other Bulldog with a hit.
Coaches Comments: "We probably faced the best pitcher we have seen this year. He was overpowering and I tip my hat to him. On the other side of the ball, I feel like we were hurt by not having any first pitch strikes. Most of their runs today were the result of walks. We threw 125 pitches in our first 5 innings, which is not a recipe for success," said Coach Muniz postgame.

St. Mary's 2 - Tracy 1
Coaches Comments: "Our team played great and it was a good game to witness. Jace Haley pitched his best game of the year. He had 61 total strikes in his 88 pitches thrown along with recording 8 strikeouts against a good Rams hitting team. He had good command of his fastball and the breaking ball had many Rams fooled.
We had 3 hits on the day against good pitching. Those hits were Dorn, McGaughran (double), and Juran. In the 2nd inning we had a chance to take a 2-1 lead but had an unfortunate baserunning accident on some bad field conditions near 3rd cost us a run."
Jacoby Freitas will get the start on Wednesday.

St. Mary's 5 - Tracy 1
Coaches Comments: "We played a good team today who had good pitching, but we put the ball in play and had our chances. Unfortunately I thought the theme for our team today was opportunities that were not fulfilled. We gave them some runs and we failed to get some runs due to some mental mistakes on defense and on the bases. I know we can play better and get a win against the Rams, we just have to show it on Wednesday at home.
Coach Alvarado praised the pitching up Logan Contreras and Anotonio Zapien on the mound. He also highlighted a hard hit double by Alfonso Silveira, and a single by Anthony Crivello. "We only struck out 4 times against good pitching."
