"This is two games in a row where we had played really tight games and came back to win, with the last one being Liberty earlier in the week," said Coach Vic Alkire.  "It was a good test for us and we responded well being down 2-0 to rally back and win.  Their were two keys to the victory today.  The first was Devin Williams getting his first start of the game.  He came up in the 6th in a  2-2 game and got a 2 run double driving in what would end up being be the two winning runs.  He was also on base three times for the day.   The pitching of Blake Ornellas was the other key.  He probably did not expect to pitch today or if so, for just an inning.  Blake really responded well which was a key for us being a bit short on pitching.  He only gave up 1 hit in the 3 innings he pitched.  Both Devin and Blake really contributed big for us," said Coach Alkire.

"Devin Williams went 2-3 with 2 RBIs, played the infield in this game as well as shortstop and had just a really versatile day including a win on the mound" said Coach Alkire.  "It was a full day for him.  It was also good to see Dax Dibble get 3 hits.  Ryan Dzoan continued his hot hitting that had started back during the Liberty game as he had 3RBIs today.  Derek Saenz got his first start as catcher with a single and 2RBIs  as well as Robert Crivello who had a single and 2RBIs.  

It was a really nice full of hard work as we got all 8 tournament games in today.  Our Booster Club did a fantastic job getting it all done especially Shane Davis who headed it all up," said Coach Alkire.

"When you get excellent pitching and defense you are going to win most games, said a satisfied Coach Alkire whose team go their first victory of the wet 2019 season.  The game also generated the fist set of runs scored by the Bulldogs who had been in a scoring drought.  "Our at bats were good.  Ryan Dzoan hit a homerun over the fence in 1st inning.  He had other excellent at bats doubling to center in the 3rd and then hitting a very had ball to shortstop in the 7th. With Ryan positioned in the number two spot today he really came alive.  It was nice to see him break out of a batting slumber," said Alkire.

"We struck out seven times which is not great, but at least we were not registering 11 K's  like we did in our last game.  Overall I was very satisfied with the effort our guys had playing in cold and windy conditions.  We did not even  know if we were going to play until just before bus departure time."

Alkire also praised his pitcher.  "Kyle was very consistent on the hill.  He had a low pitch count just about every inning.  He did not have an inning he struggled in.  He set the tone for us.  He only walked two and there were plenty of balls in play today for our defense to stay alert and active.  There were four innings today when Kyle threw 7 pitches or less. 

The Dogs are now 1-2 and will play two games on Saturday at home.

The Bulldogs are still waiting to score a run in 2019, but Coach Alkire is not worried.   "I'm confident things will turn around and this team will improve as the season progresses," said Alkire.   "For the second game in a row I thought our pitching was very good.   Marcus Corso tossed five innings against a very good Foothill team and did not allow an earned run."

On the offensive side the Dogs struck out 11 times.   "It is problematic when 11 of 21 times you don't put the ball in play," said Alkire.  "We did not generate a walk either, so between that and the strikeouts you have a pretty good representation for what our offense was like for the day."  "Our coaching staff did see some improvement in the plate approach of our hitters but it might not be evident looking at the stat sheet or reading this game summary."   The Bulldogs were up against a solid Foothill pitcher who has hopes of moving on to a prestigious college with his astronomically high GPA.

"I liked our pitching today and I thought our trio did an admirable job on the mound against the Lions," said Coach Alkire.  Junior Kyle Mulhern pitched a solid 5 innings to start and then Joey and Marcus Corso each had an inning keeping Liberty in check.  

"Offensively, we struggled in the box today.  Some of our returning players did not have the best of at bats and looked a bit overwhelmed.   I was happy though with the at bats of  Cameron Pereira and Jonathan Patino," said Alkire.  Pereira in the DH role had three at bats with 1 hit and a walk.   Patino came up in a pinch hitting role and lined a single to the outfield.  "They were both aggressive in their approaches at the plate.  They did not seem overwhelmed by the Liberty pitching," said Alkire.
