The Bulldogs played one of their best games of the year Saturday en route to a 7-4 victory over Amador Valley.  A lot of little things were done well on the field today and the energy in the dugout and on the field was maintained at a high level for all 7 innings.

Brady Brown provided excellent starting pitching keeping Amador Valley in check through the first 4 innings.  Juan Godoy came in and prevented Amador from getting back into the game until they mounted a small surge in the 7th which Godoy would extinguish. 

The win put Tracy back at .500 (4-4) as they prepare to close out the first half of the season next week with home games vs Laguna Creek and Franklin.

Coaches Postgame Comments: 

"I’m really happy for the boys today. They earned a big win against a really good program."

"Brady was lights out on the mound and did an excellent job setting the tone for us. Juan came in and did exactly what we needed from a bullpen perspective and helped us close things out."

"All week, Leland  has helped us unlock some big innings with timely bunts and hit-and-runs. That’s unselfish baseball — doing the little things that might not always show up in the box score but are necessary for the team’s success."

"My challenge to the guys has been simple: bring 100% energy and 100% effort from everyone. Today, there was a rhythm and a feel to the game.  The guys stepped up, embraced the challenge, and competed from start to finish. Hats off to them for the way they showed up."
