Wednesday afternoon looked promising in Turlock for the Bulldogs as they jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, but the Turlock bats began to chip away at the Tracy lead which by the 2nd inning was only a slim 6-5 advantage. As the game moved into the middle and late innings, it was all Pitman as they would produce 11 more runs to defeat the Dogs 16-8.
Coaches Postgame Comments
"It was a tough one today at Pitman," said Coach Mac as he rolled back towards Tracy Wednesday night. "Our pitchers performed better than the box score displays, but seven defensive errors made it difficult to stay in the game."
"The staff felt, at times, that our guys quit on each other, and that's something we have to address. We also let some things outside of our control, like umpire calls, distract us from how we need to play. The bigger lesson is about energy and playing for each other. When things are going well, we're locked in, but good teams stay together and keep competing when adversity hits. That's the standard we're working toward."
The Bulldogs now 2-4 enter a home friendly stretch of the early season as they will play the next 4 games through March 13th at home (Skyline, Amador Valley, Laguna Creek, and Franklin).
