Coaches Game Notes:

Lane Wortham started on the bump for the Dawgs. In the first Lane would challenge the Pokes and get a ground out and two fly outs in ten pitches.

The Dawgs would come up in the bottom part of the inning swinging. Lane and Noah Richardson would scorch two balls into center but with a 25-30 mph wind blowing they would end up as outs. Any other day those are stand up doubles. Brock Montgomery would get a nice base hit in the inning but it wouldn’t result in a run.

In the next inning Lane would walk the first batter but got the next batter to ground into a double play. The next batter would fly out to center field.  The Bulldogs would get on the board in the bottom

half of the inning. 

Gavin Avila would be hit by a pitch and Izzy Galicia put down a great bunt to get him to second. Shaun Bunch would single moving Gavin to third. Unfortuantely, Gavin would be questionably thrown out at third on a first and third play by the Pokes. The  next batter, Big Ben Diaz, would double scoring  Bunch from second. The iinning would end with a strikeout of the next batter.

Lane would continue to roll striking out two in the third and getting a ground out to third.

Lukas Nairn would lead off the third with a single. Lane would lay down an amazing bunt moving the runner but the throw would be just in time to get a speedy Lane at first. With a couple wild pitches Nairn would end up scoring the Dawgs second run to go up 2-0.

The fourth is when the legs would fall off the Dawgs. After a few errors and a few timely hits the Pokes would go up 3-2 on us and take the momentum.  Lanes day would come to an end due to pitch count. He would end with 4 innings pitched 3 runs 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. Our defense really didn’t help him out and he could of very well pitched deep into the game.

Tracy would come up in the next inning and lay an egg with a couple ground balls and a strikeout. 

Dylan Ibarra would come in for the Dawgs. Livermore would ride there momentum and capitalize on Tracy’s mistakes. In the top of the fifth the Pokes would plate 4 runs on Tracy errors, hit batsmen and timely hits. The score would wind up 7-2 after the dust settled.

The Dawgs weren’t going down without a fight. Cruz Melton would lead us off with a single followed by another single by Nairn. Wortham would be hit by a pitch loading the bases with no outs. Brock would come up and hit a sacrifice fly scoring Cruz while both runners would advance. Noah Richardson came up next with a ground ball scoring Lukas and moving Lane to third. Ronin Medina came up next and was hit by a pitch. Ronin would but in motion with a hit and run and Izzy Galicia would come up clutch with a nice single to right scoring Lane. The score was now 7-5 in favor of the visitors.

The sixth would be quiet for both teams. No one could gain any ground on the other.  The seventh is when the magic would happen.

The Pokes would be unable to add to their lead which would be very costly for them. 

In the bottom of the seventh Lane and Brock would square up two balls right at the the left fielder. With two outs the Dawgs dug deep. Noah would be hit by a pitch and Ronin would walk. Both runners would advance on a wild pitch. Two outs runners at 2nd and 3rd, Izzy would put the bat on the ball and Livermore shortstop would make a costly error allowing Noah and Ronin to score tying the game at 7 a piece. Izzy would move to second on a steal and set the stage for the Dawgs. Big Ben Diaz would single with two strikes walking the game off and adding another W in the win to the record.

The boys didn’t play well today but we showed again in the face or adversity, they play until the final out. For that, I am extremely proud of them. We need to clean up some things on the bases and defensively. Once we do that this team will dominate.

It was another 4 hit day for the Bulldogs as they found themselves playing from behind throughout the game as Franklin added on each inning to finish off Tracy after 5 innings of play.

Coach Mac gave strong compliments to his opponent today.  "Franklin is just better than us.  Their program has won 80 games in the last three years and they played like a quality program."

"We got a strong start from Jacoby Freitas today.  I am really proud of how he is developing.  Defensively, Freshman Jordan Alvarado was solid in his varsity debut at second base and shortstop this afternoon."

Tracy is now 2-6 and will play at Livermore on Thursday weather permitting.
