"Flush it and move on to tomorrow," were the only words expressed in the postgame team meeting by the coaching staff, as the Tracy offense was flat for their home opener vs East Union on Friday.
The Bulldogs looked like they had some spark with their bats as they generated a run in the bottom of the first as Alfonso Silveria-Marquez and Brady Brown each worked a walk and then Jacoby Freitas hit a Sacrifice Fly to shallow left to score Silveria-Marquez by a thread. After that run though the Dogs did not pose any threat to the Lancers until the bottom of the 6th when they would plate one more run.
Silveria-Marquez got the ball to start the game and would throw the first four innings giving up 3 runs on 3 hits, 1 earned run, 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. Brady Brown came in for middle relief and worked fast to deliver 2 innings of no hit ball with 4 strikeouts, but the Lancers were able to collect 2 additional runs. Noah Sardi threw the 7th allowing 2 runs on 3 hits, and1 earned run. Overall the Bulldogs (now 1-1) hurt themselves with 5 errors in the game.
Coaches Postgame Press Conference;
"I thought we pitched well enough to be in the game, but our offense is better than what we showed today," said Coach Mac. "We've got to be more competitive at the plate, and I trust we will be."
"I thought Silveria-Marquez and Brown did a nice job on the bump this afternoon. Alfonso made several hustle plays and was everywhere on the field. His effort was top notch and that is what I'm looking for from all of our guys."
Coach Mac and his team will get right back after it Saturday morning when they host Mountain House at 11 a.m.

The JV Dogs had a nice home debut producing 11 hits and 9 runs vs the Lancers. Noah Richardson would have a 3-4 day with 2RBIs and 2 doubles. Brock Montgomery was 2-3 with 2RBIs and a double. Jaiden Perez was 2-3 with 2 runs scored. Gavin Avila had a double. Isaiah McIntyre had two stolen bases, went 2-4 and generated 3 RBIs.
Montgomery would start the game on the mound and went the first four innings allowing on ly 2 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out four. Tino Contreras came in for the final 3 innings and only allowed 2 hits and one run.
Coaches Postgame Press Conference:
"I was very proud of how we played tonight," said Coach Adam Deharo. "East Union jumped on us early, but I liked the way we responded right away in the bottom half. We didn’t panic, we stayed composed, and we answered with quality at-bats."
"Offensively, we did a great job putting pressure on them. Eleven hits, seven stolen bases — that’s aggressive baseball. Isaiah McIntyre had a big night driving in three and setting the tone, and Noah Richardson gave us great quality at-bats all game. When we’re getting production up and down the lineup like that, we’re going to be tough to beat."
"On the mound, Brock Montgomery competed. He worked through some traffic and kept us in control of the game. Tino Contreras came in and did his job in relief. We turned a double play defensively, which was big to get us out of the inning, but we also gave up too many free bases and let them run on us. That’s something we’ll clean up."
"Overall, it was a solid team win. We’ll enjoy this one tonight and get ready for tomorrow against Mountain House."

HISTORICAL STATS UPDATE
I recently updated the career batting averages to include our 2025 graduates. While working on this project, I was informed that I had an improper number of at bats entered for 2010 graduate Ricky Diaz (shown above at the plate in 2010). When modifying his at-bats by just a few less ABs (as correctly noted in Max Preps), he was propelled into the All-Time Average Leader for the Bulldogs at .456.
